Here is a link to a product we use (microfilm splicing tape), which has proven to be successful: http://www.librarysuppliers.com/shop/subcategory116.html

>Hi, everyone.  I have a roll of New York Times microfilm from 1967 which
>is torn in a jagged manner.  I discovered it when someone was having
>trouble feeding in another roll of microfilm and getting an error
>message.  Part of the roll of the New York Times film was still in the
>microfilm reader.  I don't understand how film could actually tear,
>because I thought it was tougher than that.  Obviously, I can't repair
>it with tape, because of the acid in tape.  Is there any repair material
>which is appropriate for use on microfilm?  I checked Gaylord, but was
>unable to find anything.

>Thank you.
