Microfilm
and microfiche require special
readers and are prone to loss or misfiling.
Some of our recent
clients converted city building permits, from
microfiche, and water records, from microfilm, to PDF
(Adobe Portable Document File
Format) files that are easily
accessible to the entire network.
While microfilm and
microfiche are considered to be the gold standard for
archiving files, the process does have its problems.
Microfilm and Microfiche do degrade in quality making
the film / fiche unreadable. During one period the
developing process used caused premature film
degradation. |
