===Historical Records=== The main service of the FamilySearch website is to offer access to digital images and indexes of genealogical records. These images can be searched along with a number of databases. While access to the records is always free, some records have restricted access, and can only be viewed at a FamilySearch Center, at an Affiliate Library, or by members of the Church.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.familysearch.org/ask/salesforce/viewArticle?version=ka23A000000qfRJQAY&lang=en_US|title=What are the image restrictions in Historical Records?|website=FamilySearch Help|access-date=3 Aug 2019}}{{Dead link|date=January 2022 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Tanner|first=James|url=https://rejoiceandbeexceedingglad.blogspot.com/2017/08/restricted-records-on-familysearchorg.html |title=Restricted Records on FamilySearch.org|website=Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: Genealogy from the perspective of a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints|date=27 Aug 2017|access-date=3 Aug 2019}}</ref> FamilySearch.org also contains the catalog of the [[FamilySearch Library]] in Salt Lake City, Utah.
