Microfilm: 15 rolls; 16mm. Local Government Records Management Improvement Fund Grant Project Microfilm.

This microfilm was produced by a grant awarded and administered by SARA's Local Government Records Bureau for the 1992 grant cycle. Grantees submitted two copies of each roll of project film: a silver copy for secure storage at the State Records Center; and a duplicate copy, containing only non-restricted records, for public use at the State Archives research room.

Use copies of rolls containing restricted records are not maintained by the Archives, and are withdrawn from public use at time of accessioning. Security copies of such rolls are held at the State Records Center and are subject to restrictions under law.

Restricted film was so marked and use copies were weeded at time of accession. Seven rolls (reference copy only) containing restricted records were returned to the local government; 25 rolls of master negatives (security copy) were sent to the State Records Center (TL 92-3, 4). Not all restricted records were weeded at accession, and some use copies, such as rolls containing justice dockets (starting 1976) which may contain records of criminal cases, or payrolls that contain Social Security numbers, are restricted.

Criminal case records, payroll information restricted; State Archives staff will review requests for records and disclose in accordance with New York State Freedom of Information Law (FOIL).
