Notes

  1. This list in its original form was created by Tatiana Barr to document the organization of the microform shelflist before it was dismantled for scanning in 1997. Some of it may no longer reflect actual collections and locations. Please provide any updated information to np105@columbia.edu (Nancy Phillips in OSMC).
  2. Dewey microfilms were reassigned sequential numbers (F211-817) but filed in a separate drawer. A few earlier numbers were interfiled with F1 and other numbers (1 drawer).
  3. Microopaques in MRR and Music are note shelved by call number, but instead are maintained in alphabetical order.
