'''Reasons for restriction''' | '''Reasons for restriction''' | ||
If a microfilm is restricted it is usually because the copyright holder or repository | |||
allowed the record to be microfilmed but under certain restrictions. This may have allowed the owner of the original record to preserve a copy of the original record although users may need to visit the local archive to view the documents.<br> | |||
In some cases a microfilm may have several | |||
different items on the microfilm. If one or more items on the microfilm are restrict, that would prevent the microfilm from being loaned to a family history center and perhaps from being available at the Family History Library in Salt Lake City. | |||
