Hyde Park Family History Centre
The Hyde Park Regional Family History Centre is one of more than 4,500 Family History Centres of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. It is the largest such Centre outside of North America, and one of more than 100 Centres in the British Isles. It holds a good collection of finding aids and a significant collection of primary records, mostly on microfilm. Records are chiefly drawn from the Family History Library in Salt Lake City, Utah.
