Microfilm / Microfiche Scanning & Digitisation
Aperture Cards, Fiche, Comm, Combi, Roll Film or Jackets, all formats digitised to searchable PDF files.
The cost to maintain records within the correct environment and the equipment to view and print from Microfilm, is often costly and hard to come by.
We tailor the service to meet your individual needs.
We can supply archive boxes for your team to load, or our team can load the boxes directly from your existing storage systems - shelfs, filing cabinets or archive room.
You will be assigned one of our project managers (PM) with 24/7 direct access to them.
If you or your colleagues require access to the film(s) once we have them, simply contact the PM who will arrange digital or hard copy versions to be sent to you ASAP.
