Travel Information
Salt Lake City, the “Crossroads of the West,” is known for being easily accessible by car, rail, bus, and air. It is also one of the easiest cities to navigate while visiting. Located in the center of the downtown area, the Plaza Hotel is a short walk to the Family History Library, shopping, restaurants, historical sights, and many event venues. For those who wish to venture out a bit farther, the lightrail stops right in front of the Plaza Hotel and connects with other transportation at the SLC transportation hub. Unless you have designs on a drive up the canyon or to some point north or south of Salt Lake City proper, you shouldn’t need a vehicle while here. Should you wish to drive, however, you will be pleasantly surprised to find atypically wide city streets and convenient parking. Whatever your mode of transportation, visitor information is available at the Plaza, and the Salt Lake City Visitor’s Bureau is just a block away.
Getting to Salt Lake City
By Air: The Salt Lake International Airport serves as a major hub for Delta Airlines. It is also served by American, Frontier, JetBlue, Southwest, United and US Airways, and their affiliates in two terminals. As a side note, it is also host to a large art collection to make your walk through the corridors a pleasant one.
By Rail or Bus: Local visitors will be familiar with the commuter light rail system, FrontRunner, which provides easy access into Salt Lake from points as far south as Provo and as far north as Ogden. Amtrak’s California Zephyr serves Salt Lake City from the San Francisco Bay area in the west and from Chicago, Illinois to the east. Salt Lake City is also served by Greyhound Bus Lines.
Getting to the Plaza Hotel
Airport Transportation: The Salt Lake International Airport is literally just minutes away from downtown. The Salt Lake Plaza Hotel offers a complimentary shuttle for their lodging guests from the airport to their property. After claiming your luggage, simply call the Plaza using your cell phone. They will tell you which door to exit to wait for their arrival.
Bus and Rail Connections: Both Greyhound and Amtrak stop at Salt Lake Central, the city’s Intermodal Hub, where passengers may connect with TRAX (lightrail), which stops directly in front of the Plaza Hotel (Temple Square Station).
By Car: As previously mentioned, unless you plan to take a drive, you probably don’t need a rental vehicle. If you are arriving by car, the Plaza website provides driving directions to help you get to their property.
From another hotel: If you are staying at the Carlton or the Crystal Inn, they will provide a shuttle to/from the Family History Library, which is just 1/2 block from the Plaza Hotel (less if you use the Plaza’s back door). If you are staying elsewhere, please make sure you check an online map and TRAX schedule to assure you provide yourself sufficient travel time.
Parking
Hotel Guest parking is available at the Plaza at the rate of $5 per night (24-hr period). Parking may be charged to your room as an incidental and includes in/out privileges.
Day passes are also available for other conference participants for $5 per day. Day passes also include in/out privileges. They may be purchased at the hotel registration desk with presentation of your conference name badge.
Getting Around in Salt Lake City
The Salt Lake Plaza Hotel is just one-half block from the Family History Library, so it is avery short walk from the conference to the research facility. If you wish to explore, several historical sites and a wide variety of shops and restaurants are within a short walking distance as well. Lightrail (TRAX) stops directly in front of the Plaza Hotel (Temple Square Station) and provides
transportation to a variety of downtown sites free as well as a link to the Intermodal Hub for exploring beyond the downtown area.
One of the best kept secrets to the new visitor is the “Free Fare Zone”. One may ride TRAX (lightrail) or any city bus within the downtown area (see map) at no cost. Circled areas on the map at left indicate TRAX stations. Schedules are posted at each one, but may also be found online, along with bus schedules, at Ride UTA. Connections to other TRAX lines or Bus lines beyond the downtown area may be made at the Central Station.
Visitor Information
Salt Lake visitor materials, to include a restaurant guide and transportation map, will be available at the British Institute registration desk. A limited amount of sightseeing literature will also be available in the hotel hallway. Visit Salt Lake staffs a visitor center and gift shop from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm daily at 90 S. West Temple, just one block from the hotel in additional to offering complete information online.

Dining Information
Dining Information
Downtown Salt Lake City has a wide variety of dining venues, from mouthwatering steak to fast food. Many restaurants are within walking distance of the Plaza Hotel or accessible via lightrail (TRAX). The information below provides a handful of details. For a complete list of options by cuisine or location, go to visitsaltlake.com.
The Closest, Quickest Food Available
JB’s Restaurant is located on the Plaza property. They offer a breakfast buffet, and a soup and salad bar for lunch and dinner, in addition to menu items. This is convenience at its best.
Inside the Family History Library: For those who really don’t wish to quit researching but absolutely must find something to eat….you will find a small vending area on the first floor of the library which offers a variety of frozen and packaged foods, the daily newspapers, a change machine, two microwaves and handy things like plastic forks and napkins. You may purchase something there or bring your own. Obviously, no library materials are allowed inside the eating area, and no food is allowed outside the eating area.
Store it in your Room: One of the advantages of staying at the Plaza is the microwave ovens and refrigerators in every room.
City Creek Center
A few years ago Salt Lake City unveiled the results of a bold renovation. Downtown Rising literally tore down two full blocks of all but the most historical buildings and rebuilt the area from the ground up. The new mixed-used development includes shopping, dining, entertainment, beautiful pathways, fountains, and the restored creek that originally wound its way through that area.
Dining: City Creek begins just southeast of the Plaza Hotel. There are a variety of restaurants located throughout the property, from the yummy Blue Lemon to Johnny Rockets or The Cheesecake Factory.
Food Court: If you enjoy a walk, it is only two and one-half blocks to the City Creek food court, located on the east side of the center. If you prefer to ride, take any TRAX line Southbound (actually travels east toward the mountains when you board) to the next stop (City Center); this will place you nearest the east entrance of the City Creek food court.
Dining at Temple Square
Temple Square Hospitality offers a variety of restaurants within a few blocks of the Plaza. The Nauvoo Cafe ($) is located on the corner of South Temple and Main in the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, just one block east of the Plaza and offers quick cafeteria-style/food-to-go dining. On the top floor of that same building, The Garden Restaurant ($$) and The Roof Restaurant ($$$) provide great views along with great food. The Garden is more casual with American Cuisine. The Roof accurately describes itself as “Utah’s premier gourmet dining buffet.”
Just east of the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, you will find the Lion House and Beehive House. Turn left on the small path just before you reach the Lion House to find the Lion House Pantry, which features “home-style fare.”
More information about each of the four restaurants mentioned above are available online.
LDS Church Office Building
The cafeteria in the LDS Church Office Building is available to all Family History Library visitors. You may pick up a dining pass at the Family History Library welcome desk. From there, head east through Temple Square and continue out the east gate to the tall office tower to your left. Alternately, you can head north to North Temple and then east to the building. Either way, it is about 1.5 blocks; the address is 50 East North Temple. As you enter the lobby, a hostess should be available to provide directions to the cafeteria, which serves both lunch and dinner for fairly reasonable prices. If you have time, ask about taking the elevator to the 26th floor observation decks for a beautiful view of the city.
The Gateway
A little over one-half mile southwest of The Plaza Hotel is The Gateway–an outdoor shopping, dining, and entertainment area. The Gateway offers a wide variety of dining venues from Applebee’s to the Rumbi Island Grill. You will find a Japanese sushi bar, a Pub & Grub, and even a Brazilian Grill. A complete listing, along with detailed maps of both levels, may be found on their website.
Food Court: The Canyon Creek Cafes Food Court is located directly west of the Planetarium off
100 South. There you will find several fast food options such as Orange Julius, Subway, and Taco Time.
To get to the Gateway, walk west on South Temple to 400 West and turn left. Or board the Northbound Blue TRAX line (actually headed west when you board) at the Temple Square Station directly in front of the hotel and exit at the Planetarium Station (2nd stop).

About ISB
About ISB
The International Society for British Genealogy and Family History has been around a long time – longer than it takes to say the full name. Many of us who have been involved for years talk about “ISB” not only for convenience, but because the nickname suggests what the organization is – small, practical and friendly.
ISB got started in 1979 due to the efforts of several people who saw the need for an organization that would help genealogists tracing the origins of their British Isle emigrant ancestors. Thus it is no surprise that the members of ISB live all over North America and overseas.
Back issues of the journal, now called British Connections, show the efforts made to offer practical assistance and the best advice. There are contributions from noted genealogists such as Paul Smart, Susan Lumas, Stella Colwell, Rosemary Bigwood, Jean Cole, and Iain Swinnerton. Topics are varied and many of the articles are as helpful today as they were when written.
It is possible to track ISB’s efforts to reach out to members. In the beginning when books published in the UK were difficult to find, ISB sold books. First mention of e-mail appeared in an issue of 1996 and it was not long before the organization had an e-mail address, and eventually a website.
The Society continues to evolve but it retains its original purpose. ISB is here to help members overcome the challenges of researching British Isles roots from a distance.

ISBGFH is not able to conduct research for either members or non-members, nor is it able to recommend specific professional genealogists to help others with their British Isles research. We recommend checking the “Find a Professional” section of the Association of Professional Genealogists website, the “Find a Genealogist” section of the Board for Certification of Genealogists website (check for both “Country” and “Geographic Areas” specialties), or the “Find an AG® Professional” section of the International Commission for the Accreditation of Professional Genealogists website.
