Microform Readers and Scanners

We can help you use microform equipment at Serials and Microforms Services in Hatcher Library. There are 3 machines available and a reservation is required. Please direct questions about microform requests and machines to sermicro@umich.edu.

You can also read, scan, or print copies of microform content using the scanner at the Art, Architecture, and Engineering Library Information Services Desk.

What is microform? Microforms are very small reproductions of documents that require special viewing equipment to read. Traditionally created for storage and preservation purposes, microform content can include back issues of newspapers, manuscripts, maps, and other materials.
