Want to ensure that your company’s historical documents and intellectual property remain accessible and intact for future generations? You can with professional Microfilm Services.
Microfilm has been around since 1850. When it was stabilised in the 1980s with a polyester base, the original microfilm and microfiche became a sturdy preservation tool for decades even to this day, without the need to convert them into any modern formats.
With only a light source and a magnifying glass, microfilm makes archival collections accessible without relying on electronic systems, proving itself as a reliable archival method for a variety of documents—from A5-sized papers to A0 drawings.
But if microfilm is already so great, why do we still need to digitise them? Simple. Information is the backbone of modern society. Preserving and archiving this information is crucial for allowing future generations to learn from our experiences and innovations. Digital assets and intellectual property are, after all, as valuable as physical ones. Together, technology and film bolster each other: technology enables worldwide information sharing and access, while film provides long-term protection and preservation.
