Microfiche Scanning Services

Convert Microfiche Into Modern Digital Files

As technology advances, many organisations are looking to digitise their archives of information stored on microfiche. Microfiche scanning services provide a way to convert this outdated format into modern digital files that can be easily searched and accessed. Our company offers specialised microfiche scanning services to help you unlock decades of records, drawings, newspapers and more that currently sit dormant within your microfiche library.

Why Choose Document Options

Our rapid microfiche scanning process captures high-resolution images of each card which are then processed with OCR to make the information searchable. This enables quick online access to materials previously only viewable manually. Digitisation also helps preserve fragile cellulose acetate film against degradation over time while reducing the space needed for bulky cabinets.

With fast turnaround, stringent quality control and specialised expertise, we optimise microform scanning to deliver exceptional quality and usability. Our experienced technicians leverage the latest equipment to digitise diverse records including 35mm microfilm, microfiche, aperture cards and many other formats, from pristine archives to fragile, degrading film. Our capabilities allow us to handle any microform records and rapidly convert them into usable digital files you can access easily across your systems.

By modernising your micrographics through digitisation, we can unlock decades-old records and make them fully searchable while protecting delicate originals. Contact us to digitise microform documents from your archives and make them broadly accessible with enhanced quality for improved readability and long-term preservation. Our specialised microfiche and microfilm scanning services breathe new life into legacy materials.

How Microfiche Scanning Works

Our specialised microfiche scanning services work by using high-resolution scanners to digitise microform records.For microfilm rolls, the images are captured as the film scrolls through the scanner. For microfiche sheets, the scanner photographs each individual frame.

The scanning software assembles the separate images into complete pages or documents. We apply image enhancements during the process to optimise factors like contrast and brightness. Optical character recognition (OCR) makes the text searchable. The files are saved in standardised formats like PDF or JPEG. Metadata can also be added.

We quality-check the files before delivery to ensure completeness. The end result is digitised microform that can be instantly accessed online – all through our automated scanning services. This unlocks easy searching and sharing of microform archives. Our microfiche scanning services open up your records for the digital age.
