Hi everyone, Here is a note passed on to me via Midmarch Roots list. Thought it might interest others. Alice "I was in the LDS family history library yesterday looking at a film in Bridgewater, Somerset, England, the film was very washed out or light which made it more difficult to read. I tried to use a magnifying glass which helped a little when a Liberian staff member came up behind me and handed me a sheet of bright yellow paper. He said to lay this yellow paper in the film reader so what you was looking at had a much better contrast. BOY THAT REALLY WORKED!!!!! He also said to make up a kit to keep with me of a rainbow of colors reds, blues, yellows, gray, and green ETC. in couple of shades. the different colors would improve the contrast to where you can read these films much better even with a magnifier, once you use the paper you still have the option of using a magnifier also. He also said that BRIGHT YELLOW WORKED WELL AND DARK BLUE WORKED VERY WELL. but to try several colors and shades to se what worked best for you and the film you are looking at."
