Getting Microfilm

Microfilm Reader on A-level

Why Microfilm?

Not all newspapers are online, so microfilmed newspapers remain an important part of the research process.  Microfilm preserves the newspaper in its original state so that you can see the placement of articles (front page or buried in the last section), original advertisements, and photographs.

How to Use Microfilm

The library has two ScanPro microfilm readers located in the MSE Library Annex, in Room 127.

  • Only those with JHED ID's may use the machines
  • You will receive reservation instructions after you have requested microfilm items

The ScanPro machines are digital microfilm readers that you view on a computer screen and scan images to create your own digital files. We recently added multi-scan and auto-cropping technology to the readers to make it even easier to make digital files. Read instructions on how to use the ScanPro readers.
