Microfilms
This sub-section includes material in microfilm format. Although the microfilms contain both primary and secondary material, they were included in Section II because there is significantly more secondary than primary material, and, moreover, a number of reels contain both types of documents. The records are organized by reel number (I to XVI). Each record gives the date (if known) and the type (positive or negative) of microfilm, and whether it contains primary or secondary material. A short description of the reel’s contents is also provided. This section also includes a bibliography file (in paper format) with more detailed information on the microfilmed material; however, this file does not provide citations for the entire material in microfilm format.
