As Dakota County officials found out recently, microfilm, those rolls that
many of us have scrolled through while trying to find old newspaper
articles at the library, are still very much current technology.
The Sioux City Journal (http://bit.ly/2gyoY5R ) reports in September,
Dakota County was notified by the Nebraska State Archives that it needed to
replace 202 rolls of aging 35-millimeter film stored in Lincoln. Those
rolls contained images of Dakota County's mortgage documents and land deeds
dating back to the 1850s. The cellulose acetate film holding those
documents was in the beginning process of breaking down and emitting a
vinegar smell.
