Microfilm in 406 Ellis Library to U2
As part of the move of the film in 406 to CRL, we have taken a stopover at U2 so that remodeling of 406 can begin sooner than later. As such, all film has been updated in the catalog to show it is currently ‘Unavailable’ with Identity = ‘Temporarily Unavailable’. As these materials are processed, the records will be updated to accurately reflect the situation. We will also be moving the indexes in that room shortly to 2 East for final review and again, the catalog will be updated as they are moved.
