May newpapers.com and archives.com please be moved from "premium" status to register options located at https://partners.familysearch.org/solutionsgallery/s/list?category=lds_access

I understand these "Premium" sites are accessible free at Family History Centers, but can they be made "free" to all members of the church for home use as well through tithes and offerings?

    @RobertLeighPritchett

    Thank you for your question in the Community about broader access to Newspaper.com and Archives.com. These sites control who can view their databases, and under what conditions. They own their business, and control who and when their database is used and how. They contract with FamilySearch on a limited access basis.

    Can the wiki page for the Family History Center Portal listings be updated please?

    Can the church open some of these up for members of the church for use at home, since lockdowns and pandemics apparently are not going away any time soon?

    For the updated link for the list of Premium Family History Websites, you may wish to got to the bottom of the page to give Feedback.

    Were you aware there is a Family History Library look up service that may be helpful. Click the link below to learn about it.

    Your other suggestions can be added to the "Suggest an Idea: section to the right of this post. Or you may get some answers by clicking of the "Search" category for Historical Records.

    Good luck
