If you have signed in all you have to do is print it out. That's it. That's what is on the film. You will want the date of filing for both and the certificate numbers on the form that the microfilm room will give you. They will check the form to make sure the information is on there, but not its accuracy. What a shame we didn't have inter-net when we were going to the archives. We had to do so many preliminaries that are spelled out online now. Since the remodeling they may have changed a lot. So that's why I said ask the guard where the rooms are. The microfilm room used to be on the 4th floor and the reading room on the second floor. I don't know if they still are. It will be a great trip for you. A new experience to be among so many old records. Shirley **************Get fantasy football with free live scoring. Sign up for FanHouse Fantasy Football today.
