Hours of Specialized Help by Geography/Language

Specialized help from missionaries with the following geographic areas and/or languages is generally available at the times shown, either in-person or virtually. Patrons are helped on a first-come first-served basis and consultation times will be limited if others are waiting. Due to individual circumstances, specialized help may not always be available at these times.  If you are planning to visit in person, you may want to contact the missionaries on the day of your visit to confirm that the help you need will be available. If the help you need is not available, you may also contact the missionaries to arrange for a time when help is available.

"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 accessible anywhere on the Internet, but many of the images (ca. 25-30%) require viewing at a FamilySearch family history center or affiliate library. The BYU Library has access to these images.
