Microfilm Scanning A versatile microfilm scanning service

Although Microfilm is a great format for long term archiving, it means the data is linear and therefore not fully optimised. There are many advantages to digitising microfilm

Benefits of Digitising

Reduced Costs

Microfilm has to be stored correctly in order not to degrade over time as the acetate breaks down. This takes up expensive space which is climate controlled and could be otherwise employed. Digitising microfilm reduces space requirements, does not require special equipment and reduces energy costs related to maintaining the climate-controlled environment Digitising microfilm means that you can store images on any digital media, on the cloud, hard drive, phone, USB stick at a fraction of the cost.

Save Time

Once microfilm is digitised you don’t face the problems of locating your file, retrieving it physically and waiting for it be delivered. By using smart indexes you can improve productivity by having instantaneous access making far more efficient. Security Microfilm security is difficult to guarantee as you may have a mixture of documents, which means that the person looking for a specific file may see other documents that they are not authorised to view. In addition analogue data like microfilm needs physical security, whilst digital images can be easily secured with encryption, passwords and just those authorise will be able to view them

Improve File Access

Digital Image do not wear

Many historical archives are stored on microfilm making it difficult for interested parties to view them either due to geographic location and travel distances or the location is difficult to access with no guarantee that they will be able to view the item when they are there. Digitised microfilm can be made available online, with multiple people viewing the same information from any location.

Microfilm will deteriorate with a great deal of use, have to be maintained, spooling them (winding them and rewinding them) whilst digital images have no such problems.
