What is Microfilm & Why is it Important?
When it comes to privacy and storage solution problem solving, microfilming is a great solution! Microfilming is the process of turning pictures and documents into film. Microfilming prolongs the life span of information by hundreds of years, due to the long shelf life that the film has. In most cases, microfilm will be stored in the form of film reels, but the process can also be completed in the form of film sheets known as microfiche, or also in the form of aperture cards.
Why You Should Consider Microfilm Conversion & its Benefits
Microfilm makes it possible to store an abundance of information in a smaller format, saving on storage space while protecting your important information in a more secure way. Microfilm also doesn't required lengthy or constant maintenance. However, microfilm conversion provides its own set of benefits, including:
- Security: Microfilming makes identical copies of original documents, but microfilm conversion helps to save the information into a digital format. This helps to protect the information in case the original photos and documents, as well as the microfilm copies, are ever damaged or lost.
- Storage: Storing microfilm copies does initially help to cut down on how much space is taken up when storing important documents. However, even the small microfilm reels or cards will eventually take up a large portion of your storage area. Microfilm conversion digitizes your reels and fiche, allowing you to easily store our information on a cloud network, freeing up physical storage space.
- Decrease Risk of Losing Information: Microfilm conversion decreases the risk of you losing important documents when the film and fiche are digitized, as well as providing you and authorized persons easier access to your documents. In case of a natural disaster, fire, or water damage, your information will be safe from environmental conditions with microfilm conversion services.
