SALT LAKE CITY (AP) _ The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints has unveiled a new church history library.

The library will house the Mormon church's historical documents,
records, journals, photographs, film and microfiche.

The 240,000-square-foot library is holding an open house on
Friday and Saturday. Dozens of selected artifacts will be on
display.

The library contains a dozen storage vaults controlled for
temperature, humidity and security, including protections against
fire and earthquakes.

Two of the 12 vaults are subzero storage areas for film
preservation. The rest are kept at 55 degrees.

The library will be dedicated June 20 and open on June 22.
