Microfilm Scanning Services
SoftFile scans microforms (microfilm and microfiche) both 16MM and 35MM to an electronic format (commonly jpg, tif, and pdf).
Typically, there are two approaches in terms of scanning a large volume of microfilm.
One method is to scan each cartridge, reel, roll or microfiche to its own electronic directory folder. For instance, reel #199 will become folder #199. Once the end user opens that folder, the scanned images will simply be in the same order as the original microfilm reel.
Another methodology is to scan each microform (microfilm or microfiche) image and index the images accordingly. This methodology would be advantageous for importing the images into an existing ECM (Enterprise Content Management) system. If your organization does not already have an ECM, SoftFile can provide such software with the service.
