Using Microforms
Older newspapers are often only available in microform.
What are microforms?
Microforms contain reproductions of newspapers, magazines, books, and other materials. Microforms are used to preserve content published in newsprint and othe paper formats that may decay over time. There are 3 formats of microforms: microfilm (on reels), microfiche (sheets), and microcards (opaque cards).
Where are the microforms?
Microforms are located in the Microform & Newspaper Collection on the ground floor of Suzzallo Library.
Can I get help?

Can I make copies?
Use microform scanners to make digital (.gif, .jpg, .pdf, etc.) files or reader/printers to print paper copies. Read more about our microform readers, printers, and scanners.
