FAMILY HISTORY LIBRARY MICROFILM
Suffolk Cooperative Library System (SCLS) has been designated a Family History Center Affiliate Library. This designation entitles members of the Emma Clark Library to request most microfilm and microfiche listed in the Family History Library Catalog. The fees are as follows:
Microfilm loan charges are $6.00 per reel. The loan time is 60 days which includes shipping time to and from the Family History Library. This assumes 15 days shipping time each way, so the patron will have about 30 days to view the microfilm. There is a $6.00 charge for renewal of the microfilm for an additional 30 days. Microfiche are available for loan at the rate of $1.00 per fiche card. The patron may use the fiche for 60 days.
When searching the Family History Library Catalog please be aware that all microfilm numbers must be seven numerals long and start with a 0, 1, or 2. Microfiche numbers begin with a 6. The catalog record indicates the catalog number assigned to the microfilm and any borrowing restrictions. If there are circulation restrictions, they are noted. To order microfilm , follow the steps below:
- Search the catalog and locate the correct record. Click on "View Film Notes" and note the microfilm number.
- If the digit has seven numbers, note the title, and number and fill out the FHS Microfilm and Microfiche online form.
- OFTEN THE MICROFILM NUMBER WILL NOT APPEAR TO START WITH A 0, 1, OR 2 AND WILL NOT BE SEVEN NUMERALS. IN THESE CASES, ADD 0'S TO THE BEGINNING OF THE NUMBER TO CREATE A SEVEN DIGIT NUMERAL.
- If you need to add 0's to create a seven digit number, you will have to re-search the catalog by that number to ensure that the number you created is indeed the correct number. To do so, return to the catalog home page and click on film/fiche search. Use the seven digit number you have created and determine that the record matches the one that the patron wants.
Once you find what you want to borrow, fill out and submit the online form at http://scls.suffolk.lib.ny.us/order/. Be sure to fill in all sections. For Authorization and telephone write Emma Clark and 631-941-4080, respectively. After you submit the form, a PayPal invoice will be emailed to you. The order will not actually be processed until your payment has been received.
