From this page you can purchase microfilm of newspapers, magazines, and other material in the Society's collections. Our sales catalog currently lists 12,000 titles, with more added monthly. It does not yet contain microfilm of manuscripts, archival collections, or monographs, but only newspapers and periodicals.

Each reel costs $80 ($95 for silver halide) plus shipping, handling and applicable taxes. Payment can be made online by credit card or debit card, or by a check accompanying your order form. Reels ordered from the catalog are guaranteed to ship within six weeks.

By placing an order you agree that you are responsible for obeying U.S. copyright laws and that you will make no additional copies from the microfilm we provide.
