archival microfilm

Archival microfilm is a method of preserving documents and images by photographing them onto film at a reduced size. This technique helps save space and protects originals from damage, as the fragile paper can be stored away while the microfilm serves as a durable copy. Researchers, historians, and libraries often use microfilm to store newspapers, books, and records, making it easier to access vast amounts of information. Despite advancements in digital technology, microfilm remains relevant for long-term preservation due to its stability and reliability over time.
