Betty, Although I am not very knowledgeable about your question, what I say below may prove useful in making a decision about what you do next with your search. However, you should be aware that there seems to be only a limited number of years (1863-1868) of these Minutes for Guilford Co NC that have survived. But in case you remain interested in seeing these Minutes I share the following thoughts: First, I can conceive of no way that you could ever get the Microfilm on inter-library loan from the NC Archives. Second, I believe that you can purchase a copy of the Microfilm that you want. The following information from the NC State Archives Web-site might be useful: http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/sections/archives/arch/cir-5.htm#Microfilm states: “Duplicate Microfilm. The Archives has approximately 60,000 reels of microfilm in its collections which, with certain exceptions, are available for duplication. To reduce the possibility of damaging the master negatives, only orders to duplicate complete rolls of microfilm will be accepted; portions of reels will not be supplied. Duplicate Microfilm Rates: Diazo (non-silver) duplicate film, per reel: $10.00 (16mm.); $12.00 (35mm.) Silver duplicate film, per reel: $15.00 (16mm.); $18.00 (35mm.)” Third, The Minutes, Wardens of the Poor, 1838-1868 are technically not classified by the NC Archives as a Court Record. If I am reading my “Guide to Research Materials in the NC State Archives: County Records” correctly there is one reel of these Microfilm Records covering the years 1838-1868. They are placed in the category of Miscellaneous Records and not in the category of Court Records though I am not sure of the significance of this. Wardens of the Poor records are the minutes of the meetings of the Wardens of Poor and their actions. Each county in NC had 7 Wardens from 1777 to 1868. Apparently only the minutes of 1863-1868 survive for Guilford Co NC. After 1868, the boards of county commissioners (created in 1868) became ex officio wardens, and I assume that their actions on behalf of the poor are recorded somewhere in the County Commissioners’ Records until 1917 when the boards of public welfare were established. Fourth, The original records of these same Minutes, Wardens of the Poor, 1838-1868, are housed in the Archives in one volume. That means that one can actually examine the original document, which is what I prefer, but paying the Archives to photograph anything of interest is the only way to get a copy from the original document. This is expensive ($4 per page) and takes several weeks. Fifth, Any visitor to the NC Archives can photocopy the microfilmed record of these Minutes for 25 cents a page. This is what I do unless the document is so prized by me that I want an actual “certified” photograph of the original. Sixth, I doubt that these Minutes, Wardens of the Poor, 1838-1868 are indexed in any very useful form except by date of the meeting, but I do not know that to be a fact. If I am right, you are faced with the tedious task of reading them in their entirety just as you must do with Court Minutes that have not been abstracted and indexed by some wonderful angel.

I recently requested some court record films (Wardens of the Poor in Guilford Co., NC) through my inter-library loan department at my local library. My library now reports that the NC state record films are not available through inter-library loan. The NC state archives will only do a search for an individual surname in some of their records (not court records). Has anyone had any success in obtaining films of court records from NC archives? I have already talked with my local LDS center and they have not acquired copies of these films for the Wardens of the Poor. Is it possible tha the NC state archives might loan the film to my local genealogy society through inter-library loan?
