microfilming

Microfilming is a process that involves photographing documents onto a small film roll. This technique preserves information by reducing the size of paper materials while maintaining their readability. Libraries, archives, and organizations often use microfilming to save space and protect important records from physical wear and tear. The resulting film can be viewed with a special reader, allowing users to access vast amounts of information in a compact format. This method has been a reliable archiving solution for decades, particularly before the advent of digital storage.
