LDS Compact Directory is a program that allows one to easily create a single page PDF document that contains contact information for all families within an LDS ward/branch.

The program is written in python allowing it to be run on most any platform (Windows XP/Vista, Linux, etc.).

The program requires a csv membership data file. The data file can either be an export from the church MLS system (accessible by clerks), or an export from your Local Unit Web Site (LUWS) (accessible by any member of a unit). For details on how to get this export file see the tips & tricks page.

Because the compact directory is created from these export files, updated versions of the compact directory to be created with minimal effort.
