If you've recently looked up information on microfilm or microfiche, do you recall how long it took?
Did it take less than an hour to find the proper roll or slide, place it into the machine, and then find the correct piece of data? Now what if we told that you after microfilm conversion, you could find that information in less than a minute via a simple search?
Converting your microfilm and/or microfiche to digital files can seem like a huge, complex, and very overwhelming process. The good news, though, is that we can help you tackle this project without wasting any time or money. Digitizing your microfilm and microfiche can completely change the way it is accessed and stored.
Thanks to today’s advanced technology and our team of skilled specialists, we can scan your microfilm and microfiche and transform each roll into a powerful digital document with instant accessibility. Whether you have rolls of documents, images, notes, or minutes, they can be scanned and put through the digitization process.
The Datamation Microfilm & Microfiche Conversion Process
Why Should I Convert My Microfiche and Microfilm to Digital Files?
Despite claims that microfiche and microfilm have a shelf life of up to 500 years, that hasn’t been the case. These media types start to decay even in the best of climate-controlled environments.
So check in on your film and fiche. Do you notice any:
- Measles/blemishes
- Vinegar smell
- Brittleness
- Stickiness
- Fungus
If so, then you really need to consider digitizing these records before the decay makes it impossible to do so.
