Subject: [ROOTS-L] History of the use of microfilm/fishe in genealogy

Good morning list,
 
Just wondering if anyone is able to point me in the direction of a history
of the use of microfilm/fishe in genealogy?  What I'm after is articles or
anecdotal evidence of its first use in genealogy, by whom, and why ... 
 
With thanks
Kylie Veale
