Microfilm Readers and Photocopiers
No appointment is necessary to use Local History & Archives' microfilm readers or photocopier. Hamilton Public Library staff are always available to help you with your search. Materials viewed using the microfilm readers can be saved as image files to a USB flash drive, and printing is available for a fee.
Photocopies and printouts from the microfilm reader / printers both cost 10 cents per page. For digital image storage, users can use their own USB flash drive. HPL also sells USB flash drives. Saving images to your USB flash drive using our microfilm readers is free.
