Never worked with the FHL before and I'm told that they no longer do interlibrary loans. I need to find a copy of the Essex Co., NJ Court of Common Pleas books. It shows to only be in the FHL in worldcat with a film number of 1310991. What are my options?

FHL is closed and I'm in Oklahoma anyway. I'm told they no longer do ILL. What are my options for obtaining a copy of this film? (1310991) Can I pay to have it digitized or copied?

    @John Wilson​ When you search the catalog for film 1310991, you come to this page: https://www.familysearch.org/search/catalog/390512?availability=Family%20History%20Library

    Notice the camera icon the the Format column. This shows you that these microfilms are digitized and you can view them online. Click the camera icon and you can search the images just as you would with a physical mcrofilm.

    Thank you! I found it under a different holding that was combined with another film and had only a microfilm icon next to it. Strange. Searching the link you sent me now. Thank you very much!

    @N Tychonievich​ 

    .

    FYI

    .

    'Yes', the "Film" has been "Digitised" ...

    .

    But ...

    That said ...

    .

    I wonder if the "Film" is only available 'on-line', if, one is a Member of the Church; or, at a "Family History Centre" (FHC) of the Church (or, "Affiliate" Library) ...

    .

    Here is an "Image" when NOT signed into 'FamilySearch'

    Notice, NO "Camera" Icon, just a "Film Reel" Icon (but, no "Restriction" - "Key").

    .

    Film number 1310991 _ 1

    .

    And ...

    .

    Here is an "Image" when signed into 'FamilySearch' (as a Church Member)

    Notice, NO "Film Reel" Icon, just a "Camera" Icon (but, no "Restriction" - "Key")

    .

    Film number 1310991 _ 2

    .

    I am not saying such is the case; but ...

    Just wondering ...

    .

    Hence, the possible problem/issue for the poster ...

    .

    FYI It seems that if I follow the link to this from a search on WorldCat it shows the microfilm icon.
