Thank you to everyone who replied. I have one question to Melissa McAfee. She said " Permission to reproduce the entire microfilm should be requested from the NYSHA Research Library. " (The paper in question is a Cooperstown Newspaper, the Oswego Farmer I believe) What If I found a 1905 article that I wanted to put into a book. This is my question. I knew that the 75 years rule was not a problem, but when I saw that the NYSHS owned the microfilm copywrite. I had questions. From what it sounds like, I could retype the article and put it in the book, in typed form, but what seems FUZZY is if I could just photocopy the article, and put it in the book, as a clipping.
