I have just received copies of some naturalization papers from the South Carolina Archives. They were copied from a microfilm which appears to be an in-house filming project, as the Family History Library doesn't have the film in their catalog. Info from the SC Archives website:
--------------
"Record Group Number: 000044
Series Number: .L 44067
Creator: South Carolina. Court of Common Pleas (Union County)
Title, Dates: Citizenship petitions, circa 1802-1910
Quantity: 1.00 microfilm reel(s)"

Written on the copies themselves:
--------------
"Union County
Naturalizations
Frames 77-78
UW92"
---------------
From what I can gather, UW92 is the film number.
In EE, I can find citations for articles removed to state archives, and I can find citations for articles filmed for preservation. Since the copies were not made from the actual documents but from microfilm, what information needs to be included in the citation? I'm having a tough time with this one.

Greg, let's make it simple:
Greg, let's make it simple: cite the microfilm. QuickCheck Model, p. 104 "Preservation Film: In House," should cover it.
If you want to add, in your working notes, that photocopies of the film were supplied by the State Archives, you can. After all, they're your working notes; you're free to add anything that helps you.
