How To Find … THE UNIVERSITY OF IOWA LIBRARIES Reference and Library Instruction Microform Sets for Historical Research The great untapped source of primary historical materials for history researchers in this area is the vast collection of microform sets held in the UI Libraries and the UI Law Library. This document lists sizable microform sets of potential interest to history researchers. In order for the UI Libraries online catalog to be useful, researchers normally need to already have a particular microform set in mind and be looking for it specifically by its title. And substantial items within some microform sets are often not represented in the UI Libraries online catalog at all. This document attempts to help researchers locate otherwise hard-to-find microform--with some limitations. It lists only microform sets of potential interest to history researchers. It lists only microform sets that are "sizable," that is, those consisting of more than 6 reels of microfilm, or more than 40 microfiche, or more than 200 microprints or microcards. Some sizable runs of magazines and journals on microform are not listed in instances where the researcher would anticipate a fair chance of the UI libraries owning it, and where checking on it and finding it present no difficulties. Pages 7-34 list brief titles of sets acquired as of April 1992, meanwhile conveying their location and size, along with broad designations as to their field(s). Pages 2-6 serve as a broad subject index to those titles. By using the subject index -- or by simply scanning the subject headings on pp. 7-34 -- researchers can begin to find their way to those sets which hold forth promise of particular interest to them.
