Visit the Church History Library Web site (ChurchHistoryLibrary.org) to find information about the newly-completed Church History Library. You can learn about the services the Church History library provides, as well as find information about the building, the open house, and it’s dedication. This magnificent building took several years to plan and build. The Church built this Web site because so many people have expressed interest in the building and what’s in it.
The site has a link to the Mormon Message video “O Remember, Remember” taken from a talk by Henry B. Eyring. (This video has been watched nearly a quarter of a million times!) Elder Eyring’s message is to remember the things that God has done for you. This is the purpose of the Church History Department–to help people remember the hand of God in their lives. The Church History Department collects lots of records about the Church and its members worldwide. Many of these records are available for people to view in the new library.
While you’re on the site, watch a video clip about the unique carpet that was designed for the library. It’s design is similar to the marbled paper found in 19th century books.
On the site, you can learn how to preserve your personal history. The site also has several slide shows showing the progression of construction photos of the building, as well as displays from the open house.
