ABSTRACT:
A microfilm storage and retrieval system for storing plural microfilm cartridges in a storage rack and for selectively retrieving a desired cartridge. Plural microfilm cartridges are stored two-dimensionally in a rack having an open front face at which a carrier for taking out and returning the cartridges is disposed. An image reader is arranged behind the rack. A cartridge delivery port is provided through the rack, so that each cartridge is taken out from the rack into the space in front of the rack and then delivered through the delivery port to the image reader arranged behind the rack to read the images of the microfilm. In a preferred embodiment, the selected microfilm cartridge is turned to change its posture or orientation ready to be loaded into a cartridge loading port of the image reader in a space behind the rack intermediately of the delivery passage.
