Overview
Microfilm and microfiche were once the standard for records management, but physical deterioration, environmental sensitivity, and declining access to reading equipment now put collections at serious risk. Older film stocks are particularly vulnerable to flammability, chemical breakdown, and vinegar syndrome. Ovation Data's Microfilm and Microfiche Scanning Services convert these aging formats into durable, searchable digital assets, reducing preservation risk while improving long-term accessibility.
Ovation Data supports all common formats: 16mm and 35mm microfilm, aperture cards, COM fiche, combination fiche, and large-format microfiche. Scanning workflows emphasize image quality, frame accuracy, and careful handling of at-risk media. Digitized outputs are indexed and structured to support efficient discovery, reducing reliance on fragile originals and costly controlled storage environments.
