FamilySearch recently celebrated 50 years of records preservation in the Philippines.
In 1973, the first microfilming started in collaboration with the Catholic Bishops’ Conference of the Philippines.
Shortly after, in the late 70s and the 80s, FamilySearch started collaborating with the Philippine government through the National Archives of the Philippines, Civil Registry of the City of Manila, and other religious institutions, such as the Iglesia Filipina Independiente.
These ongoing efforts paved the way for digitization and making these records available online to FamilySearch users worldwide.
Watch this 10-minute tribute to this monumental effort that envisions a future where every person’s story is recorded for posterity so that all may be remembered.
