Following a recent spot check on FamilySearch, I noticed the "camera
and key" icon has reappeared for a number of LDS films of vital
records held in the Polish State Archives. This icon means the scans
can again be viewed in LDS Family History Centers and Affiliated
libraries; since last November, these films were viewable only in Salt
Lake City or in a few libraries who happened to have kept the film
rolls.
I did not check availability systematically, and only for a few
communities in Posen Province; all checks were positive. I strongly
suggest checking your favourite film's status before setting off for
your nearest FHC.
