Using Microfilm at the Butler Center

Is easy!

We have eight microfilm readers available; two with print capabilities ($0.25 per copy).



Our microfilm is organized into cabinets on the north wall of the Butler Center. We ask that you only take two rolls out of the cabinets at a time, but this is our only restriction.



What kind of information can you get from our microfilm? Good question.
