FamilySearch Microfilm Loan Prices Increase This Wednesday (15 Feb 2012)


Due to the increase in the price of raw microfilm stock and the decreasing availability of this product on the market, it has become necessary for FamilySearch to increase the price of film loans in family history centers. As of 15 February 2012 the following prices will be in effect for film loans in the United States and Canada:     
       
Short-term Film Loan

$7.50
Short-term Film Loan Extension
$7.50
Extended Film Loan

$18.75
Microfiche Loan

$4.75

FamilySearch’s Microfilm Ordering service is your gateway to a vast collection of genealogical and historical records. The service allows you to reserve and loan films to family history centers and affiliate libraries. The loan is free, but there is a small shipping and handling charge for each film.

Editor’s Note: Given the price increase, you are encouraged to place any “planned” orders today or tomorrow to take advantage of the “old” price.
