VAULT See Also: Family History Library Genealogical Society of Utah The Granite Mountain Record Vault (also known simply as '''The Vault''') is a large Vault excavated 600 feet into the north side of the mountain, which is owned by The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints . The Granite Mountain facilities feature a dry, environment-controlled facility used for long term record storage, as well as administration offices, shipping and receiving docks, a processing facility and restoration laboratory for microfilm. Records stored include Genealogical information in the form of over 2.4 million rolls of Microfilm and 1 million microfiche. This equals about 3 billion pages of Family History records. The vault's library of microfilm increases by up to 40,000 rolls per year. Since 1999, the church has been digitizing the genealogical microfilms stored in the vault. The church seeks to make the records publicly available through its Family History Centers as well as online at its FamilySearch website. REFERENCES
