I know the Los Angeles Family History has undergone an extensive renovation. We used to have 100 microfilm readers. Now there is way less (maybe 40)? The film room was turned into offices and storage. The offices and computer area was turned into very nice offices and the film area (no longer a separate room). Part of the book area is now classrooms, but very nice, like the ones in Salt Lake. However, I was usually the only one there researching Azores film in Los Angeles.
The Oakland Family History Center (FHC) had about 4 of the film readers that could read the Azores film. I heard you folks used to have to elbow each other out for a film reader! LOL I thought I had heard somewhere that Oakland was remodeled. If they did, then Oakland would probably have only 2 readers for that small film. Does anyone on this list still use the Oakland FHC? Was it remodeled? How are your film readers?
