If you find any microfilm that smells like vinegar or has curled edges, do not use it and do not return it to the microfilm cabinets. Bring the film to me or leave it on my desk.Vinegar Syndrome is a breakdown of acetate film that was used from 1923 into the 1970's. It will eventuality lead to the total destruction of the film.
The library is currently in the process of assessing the problem, but in the mean time, please let me know of any films you find with this problem.
