The Growth Of Microfilm Scanning And Conversion Services

Microfilm scanning and conversion services are playing a big part in the preservation of documents that have been stored on microfilm for years. There is nothing wrong with microfilm storage, as it has served its purpose well over time. The issue is simply there is now a better way to store documents.

Microfilm storage requires a microfilm reader in order to access and obtain information from the microfilm medium. Now that digital storage makes it so much easier to access the information, microfilm has become the buggy whip of storage. Now the process of conversion is simply to copy the microfilm and save it to a PDF (Portable Storage Document) file.

This sounds simple enough, but each sheet must be copied and catalogued properly in order to find them again. Of course, this could be done manually, but it would take forever. Microfilm scanning and conversion services that perform this function are the answer because they have special equipment that can do the copying automatically and catalogue the files as they go.

Think of the many files that have been saved over the years on microfilm. Libraries, banks, mortgage companies, government files, Universities, have historically stored huge microfilm files, and the list goes on. There is plenty of work to do, and it will go on for some time.
Digital files are accessible from anywhere there are computers and can be stored, transported, emailed and delivered electronically anywhere in the world by the click of a mouse. That is much easier than having go down to the courthouse, check in with the clerk, wait for the microfilm roll to be brought to the machine, search for your document on the roll – well, you get the picture.

The Process To Convert Microfiche to PDF

The Process To Convert Microfiche to PDF

There are thousands of documents that are stored on Microfiche and it takes a microfiche reader to read them. It is awkward, because it takes a while to find the roll that the document is on, and then you have to find the document on the roll. Microfiche has been a good storage medium, but now it is being replaced by online storage of documents.

By saving a file on a computerized document format, such as PDF (Portable File Document), access to the document file is instant and it can be accessed from anywhere. The file is easily transferred from computer to computer and can be emailed, or scanned and faxed almost immediately from wherever you are.

Government agencies, school systems, mortgage records, hospitals and doctors offices all have voluminous amounts of files that are on microfiche that are taking the time to convert microfiche to PDF. In one federal government agency it used to be that there were full time employees who did nothing but retrieve microfiche files to put on the microfiche reader, then they would have to take them back when the individual was finished with the file.

The transferring of the files from microfiche to PDF can be done by the business or entity itself, but the problems of doing it correctly so files are not lost and just the process of cataloguing the files can become a nightmare.
