preservation microfilming

Preservation microfilming is a method of saving important documents by creating tiny, durable images on thin film. These microfilms are stored safely in a controlled environment, protecting them from deterioration caused by factors like light, air, or handling. When needed, the images can be magnified and viewed with a specialized machine, ensuring the originals remain intact and accessible for future research or reference. This process is widely used by libraries, archives, and institutions to preserve valuable records while conserving space.
