Microfilm is a miniature photographic record of documents, images, or records stored on very small film strips. Organizations use microfilm to archive large quantities of information in a compact form, making it easier to preserve and access historical records, newspapers, or legal documents. When needed, microfilm can be projected onto a screen or viewed with specialized equipment to read the stored information. It offers a durable, space-saving solution for long-term storage, ensuring valuable data remains preserved for future reference without taking up extensive physical space.
