Is Microfiche Fading Away?
One of the best known forms of large scale storage, microfiche allows unlimited numbers of pages to be stored in miniature on film and retrieved for future viewing via a microfiche reader. The format is particularly popular where large quantities of material need to be retained and yet remain accessible for reference purposes.
As technology progresses, however, many companies are now looking for ways to transfer their microfiche records to other formats which can be accessed via a PC rather than a dedicated microfiche viewer. This reduces the need for specialised equipment which can take up a considerable amount of room.
Rolace Document Management offer a full range of microfiche and microfilm conversion services to suit the growing demand from companies, universities, public bodies and libraries:
- microfiche to pdf
- microfilm conversion
- microfiche scanning
- microfilm digitize tools
Using document scanning software Rolace turn the original microfilm or individual microfiche images into simple pdf files. Microfiche scanning is safe and accurate, giving clear digital copies which can be stored on disc to provide instant access on demand.
It is particularly effective where original microfilms have been damaged or their condition has degraded to an extent where they cannot always be read clearly. Conversion to pdf format allows the material to be restored to its original state and sometimes even enhanced, to allow clear and legible viewing.
Other advantages include increased storage life, reduction in the space required to file them and as pdf files are small, the files can easily be emailed to share with other people or placed on a website for downloading by any user. No need to wait for the library to open so you can use the microfiche reader; simply fire up the PC and away you go!
