NEW HOURS starting May 1, 2026.
I regret to announce we will be not be open on Wednesday evenings beginning May 1st. Unfortunately, we are having staffing problems and until those are resolved we need to decrease our hours of public operation. As soon as we have more people we'll expand our hours again - so hang in there. As always, you can contact us for appointments if our current open hours don't work for you and you need to use the center.

I'm afraid the Elon FamilySearch Center will be closed Wednesday evening, April 8, 2026. Sorry for any inconvenience this may cause.

We are still looking for volunteers to help keep the center open, especially when then unexpected occurs. Please contact the center if you're interested in helping keep this resource routinely available.
