Microforms Collection
The Law Library Microforms Collection is located in the Microforms Room in Langdell Hall, Room 221, on level 2 North. The Microforms Room is open the same hours as the Law Library.
Equipment and Costs
The Microforms Room has six reader/printers for displaying and printing paper copies of the microforms. Copies are free. Law School materials only.
Finding Microforms
"Mic" preceding the call number indicates a microform title in the Harvard
Online Library Information System (HOLLIS
Catalog).
Access to the Microforms Collection is by drawer number, not call number. To
find a drawer number for a particular collection, check HOLLIS
Catalog or the Microforms Collection List located in the Microforms Room.
Drawer numbers on HOLLIS will be listed after the call number:
Law School: Mic KF 70 .A2 (Drawer 310-313)
For titles that are part of larger collections, such as the Nineteenth-century Legal Treatises, International Law, or the Pre-Soviet Collection, HOLLIS will show the call number followed by the fiche/film number:
Law School: Mic PRE-SOVIET 00049
Check the Microforms Collection List for the drawer number, then locate the fiche/film for the numbered "00049".
Some titles have indexes, reel guides, or finding aids available on paper or on the microforms themselves. Paper indexes (call numbers beginning "Mic Ref "on HOLLIS) are shelved in the Microforms Room by call number.
