Borrow Utah State Archives Microfilm
Microfilm of State Archives collections
can be loaned to researchers. This does not include loaning
any original paper record or microfilm of records for which
access is restricted. The Utah History Research Center
does not participate in the Interlibrary Loan (ILL) program
used by many libraries. Microfilm loans are subject to
postage charges. Films that are restricted because of statutory
law and films that are non-circulating because of their
high on-site use cannot be borrowed.
Loan Procedure
In order to borrow microfilm, a patron must sign and return
a Microfilm Loan Form. Payment
may be handled by providing credit card information on
the registration form or by mailing two checks along
with the form. If payment is made by check, one check should
be made out for the shipping charges and the second made
out for the amount of the deposit.
Shipping charges: $4 for first two reels;
$1 for each additional reel, up to five reels total.
Deposit: $10 For each reel
- Microfilm may be loaned for a period of one month,
with the option of two renewals (unless the film has
been requested by another patron).
- No more than five reels of microfilm may be loaned
to any one borrower at a time.
- Borrowers are responsible for returning films to the
Utah History Research Center by first class or Priority
mail.
- Borrowers who fail to return films within two weeks
of the loan period expiration will forfeit their return
deposit of each reel that is overdue.
