Can anyone on this discussion list please provide me with some information
on the durability of microfilm?  A friend who was to return some microfilm I
had borrowed from her college's library forgot that it was in the trunk of
her car and went to New York for a week.  My question is how will the
microfilm hold up in the trunk of a car sitting in an uninsulated garage for
over a week?  We have had a week of days with the high around 90 degrees and
high humidity.  Will the microfilm be damaged while it sits in the car?

Please reply directly to me because I am not a subscriber to this list.
Thank you in advance for your time and assistance.
