There are various reasons for filming records. One of the most important reasons is for preservation of the information. Microfilm is recognized as one of the most durable media for permanent records, with an estimated lifespan of 500+ years when stored in the proper environment. Filming also provides security of information vital to the operation of your office. If you film records and store the film off-site, then the data will always be available, even if the original paper is destroyed or lost. The need for space can also be a factor since a roll of 35mm microfilm can hold about 900 pages and a roll of 16mm about 3000 pages. Thin 16mm film can store about 6000 pages. |
Your project will be handled by an experienced staff dedicated to creating outstanding microfilm. We use Kodak cameras, of every possible configuration, to provide you with an outstanding image on every shot. Generally, there will be around 1,000 pages on a reel of microfilm. Your film will meet all applicable ANSI/AIIM standards. Your project will normally be completed within 30 days of receipt; more quickly if necessary. We will return your documents after filming if desired. Or, material will be destroyed after a 365 day holding period to ensure you are completely satisfied. Our Image Lab Brown Tones all silver microfilm to delay or prevent the onset of destructive redox in your silver microfilm. |
