This microfilm was obtained through a service called "Inter Library Loan" If you have access to any library, be it university (I am a professor at Univ of Arizona in Tucson), a city, or town library, then you can go to ILL Librarian with the name of the book, microfiche, or microfilm, which you have previously obtained (in this case from the NYSArchives website index) and request an ILL. I submitted this in November, and took unusually long. I can use this film only in the UA library microfilm reading room. US and Canadian libraries are all in this ILL network--have obtained books from Toronto, etc. as well. The reserve times are usually only three weeks, so work fast when things arrive! hope this helps... j At 04:35 AM 01/11/2000 EST, you wrote: >In a message dated 1/11/00 12:24:22 AM Central Standard Time, >[email protected] writes: > ><< have a microfilm from NY State Library in Albany, only have it until Jan > 18th.
