(microfilm only, 49 rolls) microfilm rolls: #RRV 1100-1148 ** Note: This is not a page-level listing; it's a book-level listing. The Atlas books described and numbered below generally consist of hundreds of pages each, and consequently hundreds of frames of microfilm, for which no detailed listing exists. Since the cost for an archivist to browse through or print out hundreds of microfilm images would be exhorbitant, the most economical means of duplication for researchers unable to visit the State Archives is to simply buy a duplicate roll of the entire microfilm roll in question. The duplicate roll can then be used at local public or institutional libraries that have microfilm readers and reader-printers.
