Opened a box and found microfilm? This beginner’s guide explains what it is, how to estimate your volume and costs, the scanning steps, and the best ways to access your files—so you can turn those reels into secure, searchable digital records.
Digitizing microfilm is about more than scanning--it’s about preserving critical records through every stage of the process. In this blog, we walk through the key risks of mishandling microfilm and the secure practices that protect it from deterioration, loss, or compromise.
300,000 microfiche had to be scanned in just 60 days. This blog unpacks how we restructured pricing, scaled operations, and delivered under court order—without compromising quality.
What makes a “large” aperture card scanning project different than a standard project? Learn about aperture card scope considerations, costs, logistics, and more to help you navigate your way to a successful result.
Microfilm is an outdated technology that presents more challenges than benefits. In this blog, we explain why traditionalists are wrong about sticking to microfilm and why digitization is the smarter, more effective choice for modern document management.
A phased approach to digitization, starting with a point of contact (POC), moving to a pilot, and scaling to full implementation, ensures a smoother transition and a successful project. This 'Escalation of Force' strategy helps organizations test systems, refine workflows, and minimize risks before committing to a large-scale project.
Take a look at how we helped a court system digitize 100,000 microfilm rolls! We give you the background, discuss logistics, obstacles, and how we made it a success.
Learn about the various types of aperture cards, including the common 35mm standard aperture card, the multi-image aperture card, and the Hollerith aperture card!
Use these tips and hacks to create a simpler, more efficient, and smoother microfilm digitization project for you and your scanning partner.
We’ll cover five common fears of microfilm digitization and discuss why you don't need to be afraid! And also what you can do to move forward and make your project successful.
