- Genealogical Society of Utah
The Genealogical Society of Utah (GSU), established in 1894, is an incorporated, nonprofit educational organization comprised of thousands of volunteers. According to its public website, it receives its entire funding from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
The central office of the GSU is the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah, USA. Hundreds of GSU volunteers serve at the Family History Library helping inquiring researchers. Others are involved in managing the GSU archives and digital imaging of records obtained from around the world. The Society began microfilming records in 1938, and in 1998 started its digital imaging projects. The GSU has microfilmed various sources of family history from over 100 nations.
The GSU and Family History Library are responsible for the FamilySearch internet website, which facilitates online family history and genealogy research at no charge to any interested reasearcher.
