Microform Research Collections: Engl. Lang./Lit.

Subject research collections reproduced on microfilm, microfiche, or microcard.

Selected Microform Collections

The UT Library holds several microform sets of primary source materials that are valuable for research. While titles of microform sets are searchable in the online catalog, only the contents for some sets have been analyzed for catalog searching. Many sets have printed guides and finding aids that specify content locations within the set. Microfilm collections are located in Storage in the Hoskins Library. Request items from the catalog or visit Storage. Guides to microform sets are located on the first floor, 120 Hodges Libary.
