They've moved to Needham Heights.
OmniSys (formerly General Microfilm) in Massachusetts offers
extensive though, in my experience, ill catalogued, sets of
early printed books on microfilm, including collections of
books published in France, Italy, Russia, Germany,
Scandinavia, and the Low countries:

32 Wexford Street
Needham Heights, MA 02194
tel. (617) 444-4123
Slangenburg Abbey's microlibrary also includes, as I recall,
some nice early printed books:

UMI, as has been said, has filmed many (most?) of the
items listed in Pollard & Redgrave's and Wing's short
title catalogs. See:
(P&R) http://www.umi.com/hp/Support/Research/Files/61.html
(Wing) http://www.umi.com/hp/Support/Research/Files/62.html
And you could do worse than browse the site of Norman
Ross (N.Y. distributors for many microfilm companies:
http://www.nross.com/Welcome.html
But I'm an amateur at this, and approach it with a bias for
American sources; the pros will doubtless offer better advice.
