[Genealib] Microfilming Newspapers

[Claire Kluskens]

There are technical specifications for microfilming; you should be  
able to Google some online. In my opinion and experience, silver  
duplicates are better quality and will provide better microfilm to  
paper copies. As a researcher I really hate having to use diazo.
