How to Place Your LDS Films on Indefinite Loan at the Center for Jewish History
The Family History Library has agreed to permit LDS microfilm to be placed on indefinite loan at the Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute at the Center for Jewish History. The Jewish Genealogical Society will assist the Genealogy Institute in building its collection of microfilm of Jewish interest/significance by paying the final rental fee for loaned microfilm, thus allowing the microfilm to be added to the Institute’s indefinite loan collection.Borrowers will continue to pay for the initial loan and the first renewal ($6.00 each for one month each). When microfilm of Jewish interest/significance that you have borrowed from the Family History Library is due for its second renewal, simply tell the staff at the desk that you would like it to be placed on indefinite loan. JGS will then pay the final fee, and the microfilm will be transferred to the Institute’s indefinite loan cabinet.
