BYU Family History Library Hours
Due to COVID-19, the BYU Library is currently only open to BYU students and faculty and is closed to community patrons. We continue to offer live webinars and other online content to assist in your research. You may also contact us for virtual assistance with family history.
The BYU Library, including the BYU Family History Library, is currently open to BYU students and faculty only, Monday to Saturday, 7:45 am to 8:00 pm. These hours are subject to change according to the hours of the BYU Library. (See those hours for holiday and other closures as well.)
We are currently closed Sundays.
The family history help desk services are closed and we currently do not have family history missionaries available to assist at the library. Guest computer logins are disabled. BYU students and faculty may receive assistance at the Level 3 Help Desk.
Virtual Assistance
While the library services are currently limited, we are offering virtual assistance with family history. Contact us with research queries or to arrange for a virtual one-on-one family history consultation.

"BYU access" means that the item is accessible on BYU campus or remotely for logged-in BYU students and faculty. If labeled “BYU campus” then it is available anywhere on BYU campus, but not remotely. "BYU Library" indicates that you may only access the resource while physically at the BYU Library. (If you have a personal account with any of these sites, you can access them anywhere. If so, it is best to access them directly rather than using these links.)
*FamilySearch is accessiable anywhere on the Internet, but many of the images (ca. 25-30%) require viewing at a FamilySearch family history center. BYU Library is also designated as a family history center allowing access to these images.
