The following is an update from my Blog post 5 Feb 2014 "Granite Mountain Genealogy Records Vault (LDS)"

"Church Completes Major Microfilm Digitization Initiative"

Billions of historical family history records are available to the public with the completion of a microfilm digitization initiative by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. 

“This is a really incredible milestone,” said Joseph Monsen, director of preservation services for the Church History Department. “For 83 years, the Church has been collecting and using microfilm records to support genealogical research. … 2.4 million rolls of microfilm are all digitally saved now and available.”
