PRESERVATION
MICROFILMING SERVICES
The
Microfilm division provides 35mm silver film copies of
books, manuscripts, newspapers and other library materials from
the collections. These films are produced to meet published standards
such as those issued by ANSI/ISO and the Research Libraries Group.
Microfilm
work is done either as part of library-funded projects or as jobs
for individual patrons and institutions. Individual jobs are handled
through the Library Photo Service desk as well as through the University’s
subject specialty libraries, the Bancroft Library, and the Interlibrary
Loan service.

NOTES
ON SERVICES
- The
primary services provided by the Microfilm division include the
microfilming of original documents and the duplication of existing
35mm rolls. Film is exposed and processed in-house, according
to preservation practices and standards for microfilm.
- Though
it is possible to arrange for paper copies from microfilm through
the Library Photo Service desk, this work is not performed in-house,
but subcontracted to a local vendor.
- Limited
consulting services may be available, by contacting
- No
16mm. film, microfiche, or diazo film is made.
PLACING
AN ORDER
- Normal work turnaround is 15 business days from receipt of the order though duplication jobs can be completed more quickly.
- Orders for duplication of client-supplied or library materials can be made by appointment, available Monday - Friday, 9 am to 4 pm. Please call 642-4665 to schedule appointments.
- Orders for duplication of library materials in Doe/Moffitt Libraries need to be placed through Interlibrary Borrowing Services; please see instructions and policies for UC and UC Berkeley patrons and those for non-UC patrons. For materials in the branch libraries please contact the library holding the materials.
- Any order for the duplication of non-circulating materials must be placed with the library holding these materials and not Library Photographic Services. For example, to place an order with Bancroft Library contact Bancroft, Reference and Access Services.

HISTORY
Microfilming
services in the library appear to have begun on a regular basis
in the early 1940’s, and have been offered continuously
since that time. In 1949, mechanized film processing was added
– replacing the hand-processing methods which preceded it
– enabling the unit to process film on a production scale,
much in the same way as it is done today. Many rare, unique, and
endangered materials have been preserved and the vast majority
of these materials are still available as master negatives, copies
of which are ordered by patrons and institutions around the world.
In addition to the steady stream of in-house jobs, the Microfilm
division has successfully completed a number of large projects
under the auspices of the National Endowment for the Humanities,
the Research Libraries Group, Title IIC, the Mellon Foundation,
etc. The unit’s two staff members have over 30 years combined
experience in micrographics.
