At IRM Consulting, we offer professional consulting services to advise you on how and why you should consider converting your microfilm and microfiche images into a digital format that can be stored, accessed, retrieved, and shared.
Microfiche and microfilm are types of document storage. Images are stored on sheets or strips of microfilm, like photographs. To read the images, the film is placed under the lens of a microfiche reader that magnifies the image. This type of storage was in widespread use in the 1960’s and was later replaced by optic disc technology.
The extensive use of microfiche as a document storage method years ago means that many records stored on microfiche hold significant value, both commercially, historically, and individually, and must be preserved. Time is of the essence, as old records have reduced in quality over the years.
IRM Consulting can advise on the latest scanning equipment to convert microfiches to digital format. Microfilm scanning services can convert all types of microfiche images into PDF, TIFF, Microsoft Word and Excel formats.
