If you know the black and white or colour roll (film) number and
want to know the year it was taken, please consult the following
tables. For recent films rolls (since 1977 for black and white [with the
exception of BC5762-BC5771], and
since 1990 for colour), the first two numeric digits of the roll
number indicate the year the roll was taken. (For example, BC88102
was taken in 1988; BCB94072 in 1994; and BCC97168 in 1997.)
Roll numbers for black and white films begin with either "BC" or
"BCB". Roll numbers for colour films begin with "BCC".
