Open M-F 8:30-5, except holidays. Phone (215) 685-9400 or 9401 (no phone orders accepted). City Archives has 1886-1915 marriage records on microfilm, BUT WILL NOT MAKE COPIES for mail-in requests, ONLY CITY HALL WILL; however, City Archives won't stop you from making your own copies from these films if you can get there in person. It all has something to do with the Marriage License Bureau's control over post-1885 marriage records. The microfilm machines at Phila. City Archives are now coin-operated ($ .25/15 mins.), as is the microfilm printer ($ .75/page). There is no problem getting copies of Jul 1860-Dec 1885 Phila. marriage licenses by mail from City Archives.
