History

A branch of the genealogical library of the LDS Church was established in the BYU library in 1964. It contained the library of the Utah county Genealogical Historical Society and a catalog of the materials in the main genealogical library in Salt Lake City. The genealogical library branch was located on the 4th floor, with specialized reference personnel. With the help of other library workers, Eve Nielsen recataloged the Genealogical Society of Utah's Utah county records over three years.[1]:137–138

gollark: Yes, but it has to be as cool as countries.
gollark: All COOL countries have their own navigation satellites, so the EU has to be cool and have them too.

gollark: Apparently some EU department decided that it was going to spend money on advertising the EU satellite navigation system to consumers. I don't know why they thought random people would care. It's kind of funny.
