Lewis Anything you copy on the microfilm reader/printers will cost .50. It could be book pages, obits, death certs, etc. Birth certs are restricted, so usually you will have to take a birth cert number to the staff so they can retreive it for you. You can sometimes find that birth cert number on the appropriate microfilm index. When the staff prints someting for you the price varies from .50 to 10.00, depending on their criteria. The staff is very helpful. Elizabeth has already explained to you the deal w/the marriage applications. Good luck.

As previously stated, anything found on microfilm can be copied by the public with the microfilm copier for $.50 a page but the last time I was at the archives, they did not have a copier for use by the public for books found on the shelves or for original materials found in ledgers. Instead the staff photocopied materials for a fee. Another option is photographing with a digital camera. A good camera will make a readable record of most of the microfilm details. I have done it often. Jean Johnson On Wed, Sep 17, 2008 at 11:46 PM, Richard Baer <rbaer@kdhnc.net> wrote: > Lewis > > Anything you copy on the microfilm reader/printers will cost .50.
