You just brought me back in time to honors history in highschool where I needed to go to the historical society library and had to use their microfilm to get stuff from an old newspaper.

I wonder if they still have microfilm now, or even put new papers onto it. It seems so archaic nowadays.

I remember a librarian telling me they were slowly moving from microfiche to network storage, but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to find that there’s plenty of microfiche left collecting dust.

I don’t think new stuff goes to microfiche, and the old stuff has probably mostly been scanned by how and just sits in an archive somewhere.

Of course I’m sure that depends on the size of the library.
