This microfilm was produced by a grant awarded and administered by SARA's Local Government Records Services for the 1993 grant cycle.

Use copies of rolls containing restricted records are not maintained by the Archives, and are withdrawn from public use at time of accessioning.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.
