| The University of Kentucky Libraries department
of Reprographics does all the microfilming of newspapers
for the state of Kentucky. They also participated
in the National Endowment for the Humanities National
Newspaper Microfilming project from 1987-1991. Due
to that project they filmed almost 1.5 million pages
of newspapers pre-1900 dates, and are the holders
of over 25,000 reels of 35mm microfilm for all Kentucky
counties going back as far as 1787.
They also have reels
of manuscripts, books,
church records etc., as
well as Mormon film which
can only be copied by specific
request from Salt Lake
City granting them permission
to duplicate it.
Microfilm will normally
be shipped within 2-4 weeks,
or if it is a large order
(50 or more reels) count
on 6+ weeks. You will be
invoiced with your film
order so you do not have
to put down a deposit or
send money at the time
you order. Shipping/handling
is $3.00 reel. Some of
the older reels do require
some maintenance work.
This is $5.00 reel, but
it does not apply to every
reel.
There are also some miscellaneous
reels that have as many
as 30 titles on a single
reel. These are usually
single issues and not a
complete run.
If there are problems,
this is dictated on the
information for that particular
list.
