Mikrofilmowanie ksiąg odbyło się na podstawie zawartej umowy. Jeśli to prawda, minęło 50 lat i mormoni zaczęli udostępniać bazę, do której wg tej samej wieści krążącej wśród genealogów nie mieli darmowego dostępu. Zastrzegam, nie wiem czy to prawda, nie znam treści podpisanej umowy.
Ja korzystalem z ich bazy juz 20 lat temu. A wiec byla publicznie dostepna. Juz 80 lat udostepniaja swoje zasoby. Na ich stronie LDS jest wyjasnienie dlaczego przeszli na internet. Otoz robienie kopii i wysylanie jej do bibliotek FS stalo sie za drogie. Kodak podnosil ceny na rolke filmow na ktora robiono kopie. Wypozyczano wtedy w Toronto za 5 dolarow na 6 tygodni z mozliwoscia darmowa przedluzenia na nastepne pare tygodni. A wiec nie wiem czy zarabiano jakies pieniadze. Urzadzenie bibliotek w czytniki komputery no i same pomieszczenie to tez kosztuje.
Tutaj pare linkow o ich dzialalnosci. Po angielsku ale Google translator moze to przetlumaczyc.

The Salt Lake City Genealogical Library was founded in 1894 to gather genealogical records and assist members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints with their family history and genealogical research. It is the largest library of its kind in the world. It is open to the general public at no charge. The Family History Library is visited by an estimated 1,900 or more individual patrons each day. By 1975 there were 17 "branch libraries" around the world.[2]
The library collection has 2.4 million rolls of Family History Library microfilmed genealogical records and more than 742,000 microfiches in the main system. In 2003, the collection increased monthly by an average of 4,100 rolls of film, 700 books, and 16 electronic resources. A majority of the records contain information about persons who lived before 1930. Approximately 200 cameras are currently microfilming records in more than 45 countries. Records have been filmed in more than 110 countries, territories, and possessions.[2]
The first Family History Center (FHC), then called a branch genealogical library, was organized in the Harold B. Lee Library on Brigham Young University Campus in May, 1964. Plans to organize family history centers in Mesa, Arizona, Logan, Utah, Cardston, Alberta, and Oakland, California, each adjacent to a temples in one of those cities, had been announced at the 1963 October General Conference.
The Family History Centers were put under the overall direction of Archibald F. Bennett. By December, 1964, there were 29 FHCs, and by 1968, there were 75. In 1987, these institutions were renamed "Family History Centers."
https://media.familysearch.org/familyse ... microfilm/https://www.familysearch.org/ask/faq#overviewTutaj wyjasnienie dlaczego przechodza na cyfrowe dane:
Why if there are still companies that make microfilm are you moving to all digital images?
1. Online access to digital images of records allows many more people to use records faster and more efficiently.
2. While microfilm remains an important preservation medium, its use for access has been in decline for a couple of decades since the advent of digitization. The cost of vesicular film used to duplicate microfilm for circulation has risen dramatically while demand has decreased significantly. Today, duplicating and circulating a microfilm costs many times the loan fee charged by FamilySearch.
3. It has become increasingly difficult and costly to maintain the equipment, systems, and processes required for film duplication, distribution, and access.
