New Church History Library Open to the Public
The new Latter-day Saint (LDS) Church History Library will open its doors to the public on June 22, 2009. Journals, diaries, manuscripts, photographs, and books are among the many precious records stored at the library.
A stand-alone building located at the northeast of Temple Square, the new library allows the public greater access to the LDS Church’s historical records than ever before. “This will be the first time that the Church’s historical library will have a public face,” said Church History Department managing director Steven Olsen. Previously, the Church’s historical records were housed in the LDS Church Office Building. Records were only accessible when the Church Office Building was open.
The new library uses state-of-the-art technology to create a more inviting atmosphere for patrons. Wireless connections are available throughout the building. Also, the building was designed to meet rigorous “green” standards according to the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design rating system. Natural lighting and improved air quality are some of the side benefits for patrons and employees.
Just as importantly, the new library is much better equipped to preserve records. The old location did not have fire protection, seismic protection, or proper temperature and humidity controls. The new building solves these problems. Ten new main storage rooms are kept at 55 degrees Fahrenheit with 35 percent humidity. Two additional storage rooms, which contain color motion picture films and photographs, are kept at minus four degrees Fahrenheit.
