At the risk of offending all and sundry, why has there not been a critical
mass of demand to make this microfilmed index available broadly for sale and
rental?  It seems as though the Rockefeller library could actually make a
tidy contribution to its funds from such a venture?   I assume there isn't
even a copy (available to the public anyway) at LVA or in Salt Lake?  I also
assume that something in the Library's Charter or other conditions, prevents
circulation.  I thought only the parishes in Wales limited circulation of
their resources like this.

Thank you for your response.
