Archival Services For 35mm Microfilm

Archival services for 35mm microfilm is becoming harder to find because many companies that offered archival services years ago, are not offering may of the services they used to. Part of the reason for this change is that archival services, like some other microfilming services, is not needed as much as before. Companies that perform this operation need to maintain licenses and equipment up to date, and unless they have enough work, it does not pay for them to continue offering archival services.

Our operation offers archival services, microfilming services and microfilm scanning services. We are equipped with the latest digitizing equipment so that is you need archival services and microfilm scanning services, we can help you with both.

Some county records that require archival services use internal operations and are finding this systems hard to maintain.

In many cases, archival services is used for data records.

Slide Scanning Prices

Generation Imaging provides Florida slide scanning services, and even if you are located outside of Florida we can digitize your 35mm color slides. Slide scanning prices vary based on volume and indexing options. The greater the volume the lower the price.

A ballpark slide scanning price for hundreds of thousands of slides would be around 15 cents, give or take a few cents. Smaller volumes can 3-4 times that price. Optional indexing parameters may add to that price.

Why convert slides to digital images?

1) Allows you to retrieve instantly specific photos on your computer screen instead of hunting and searching for them.
2) Enables you to share images with friends, family, the public, or clients via internet, e-mail, FTP, CDs, or DVDs.
3) Print. Questions: how to print a slide? Answer: get it digitized.
4) Emergency backup. Natural disasters, floods, fires, and burglaries could wipe out your slide collection. Don't wait for a disaster- be proactive and archive your slides before you lose the opportunity.

What are slide scanning formats? Color JPEGs is the most common format. Other common formats include TIFF, PDF, and PNG.


Slides can be named by handwriting or typed information located on their white borders. The actual files may contain this information or be inside a spreadsheet, database, or text file.

Please feel free to contact Generation Imaging via phone or e-mail for a slide scanning price quote. If you have an estimate for your volume we can instantly give you a quote and turnaround time via e-mail.

Facts About 35mm Microfilm Conversion

Facts About 35mm Microfilm Conversion

- 35mm reels usually contain newspapers, books, engineering drawings, maps, blueprints, and other large format documents, but the truth is anything that has ever been on paper can be on 35mm, including 8.5 x 11 A-Sized documents.

If you have any experience in the micrographics industry or a knowledge of ANSI standards, you would think that document imaging guidelines are enforced, but they are not. If, for some reason or another, a microfilming company wanted to reduce documents to 12x or 16x reduction ratio, it would be on 35mm.

-  The number of frames on 35mm roll film varies, but generally speaking a 35mm microfilm scanning results in around 500 images per reel. Since there were no standards, however, theoretically a reel could contain anywhere from 1 image to 1200+ images. Most of them are 100 feet.

- The price of a 35mm microfilm scanning is slightly higher than a 16mm microfilm conversion due to the size of the images and number of frames on a reel.

- A 35mm microfilm conversion can result in a bi-tonal or greyscale image (Group IV uncompressed, LZW, or other compressions). The images can be named or indexed anything. Typical file formats are PDF, TIFF, or JPEG.

- A microfilm conversion is not the same as a microfiche conversion, as those terms are commonly confused. Part of the confusion is that there are 35mm jacketed microfiche, which were at one time on roll film.

- The reels are usually converted at 200DPI, 300DPI, or 400DPI. (DPI = dots per inch/scanning resolution)

Records Scanning Your Microfilm Rolls

The amount of information stored in microfilm is huge. Records scanning will help digitize all these records to store them on computers. For example, a resent article publishes mention that the Mormons have collected billions of records on microfilm. All this information will probably find its way through a records scanning process to digitize it all. The end result will be a storage and retrieval system capable of holding all of the documents in a single location.



Records scanning can be very useful in terms of its capabilities to save records from destruction. There are numerous events pointing to the possible lose of data from microfilm. When you solely rely on microfilm to store valuable information, and on top of that people have access to the use of it, eventually things can go wrung. Records scanning can protect that data against accidental scratching, misplacing, or other damages. Records scanning does not mean you lose the microfilm. You can retain the microfilm and also use the images in a more effective way.

As technology continues affect a grater part of our lives, records scanning allows the flexibility to bring microfilm information to current technology standards. Records scanning allows you to use your own computer to access the information without having to rely on microfilm viewers. You don't even need to be sitting in a library because images can be shared over the internet. Taking advantage of records scanning opens the doors to a world of opportunities.

Aperture Card Scanning Services

Generation Imaging offers Florida aperture card scanning services. Aperture card scanning is the process that converts old PC cards to digital images, such as PDF, TIFF, or JPEGs. Images can be multi-page documents or single page. The digital output can be greyscale or bi-tonal.

Aperture card scanning enables an analog media to be electronically acceptable and digitally distributed. Images can be copied, stored on various devices such as multiple computers, servers, CDs, DVDs, USBs, external hard drives, and more. Images can be printed, e-mailed, put on the internet and your company's intranet. You can easily search for specific drawing numbers with your keyboard or mouse, as opposed to hunting through file cabinets and thousands of pink, yellow, white, and blue files.

Aperture card scanning has so many obvious benefits that it just doesn't make logical sense to continue to use PC cards in your organization. Without an emergency backup plan, those PC cards can be lost and the data cannot be replaced. At least with digital images you have the opportunity to have backup storage without the cost of getting the aperture cards physically duplicated and put in some warehouse.

When it comes to workplace efficiency and storage space, aperture card scanning is the ultimate solution.

Yes, everything must be budgeted and quite frankly money is the number one reason why companies choose note to convert aperture cards to digital image. However, Generation Imaging is open-minded about working with you on price and perhaps digitizing only a certain amount of apertures per quarter or month. Please contact us today about your aperture card scanning project and we can help.

How to Scan Computer Output Microfilm

Computer Output Microfilm is THE most advanced, most difficult, and most technical roll film to scan. Why? For normal roll film, high production microfilm scanners capture each frame based on edge detection algorithms, which include setting sense areas and black/white pixel formulas. It helps if the frames are fixed, but variable length frames can be captured with no problems.

However, for Computer Output Microfilm there may be no edges of frames. Indeed, the scanner operator will be lucky to find a consistent and detectable edge (YES, even with ribbon scanning- don't believe the hype from scanner manufacturers). The easiest way out of this jam is if the Computer Output Microfilm has blips for each frame. Then, the scanner could be set up to detect on the blip.

So as you can see there are at least three general types of Computer Output Microfilm in roll film scanning, and one of them requires post-processing: the images would have to be scanned as strips- with a backup overscan- and then the frames would have to be manually cropped/clipped. Suffice to say the costs are very high to digitize Computer Output Microfilm in this way.

Therefore it is very important for you to know and identify if you have this type of film instead of standard 16mm roll film. Generation Imaging is a scanning company that can these types of roll film conversions. Please contact G.I. if you need to have COM reels converted to digital image. Generation Imaging will perform a sample for you.

The Library Of Congress In Line To Digitize Negatives

The Library of congress has a high volume of microfiche and microfilm and is awarding a contract for a company do digitize negatives from these microforms. According to the federal business opportunity report, the process to digitize negatives needs to be done at a high quality level. The purpose to digitize these negatives by the Library Service Preservation Division is to at least produce a digital file of the documents.

There are many reasons to believe that digitize negatives will help. For one, digitize negatives will help the library of congress offer better service in terms of providing faster search alternatives. Then there is the issue of additional preservation benefits. Digitize negatives can be duplicated endless times and backed up for safety reasons. There are many other associated benefits of digitize negatives from microfilm or microfiche and the end users stand to gain from this.

As we move forward, I suspect that more libraries will digitize negatives from microfiche or microfilm in order to get their records into an electronic format. It only makes sense from a practical view, that all of these institution digitize negatives of archives that can only be found on microfilm at the present time. In cases where cost has been an issue, we can digitize negatives from microfilm, microfiche, aperture cards, and other formats, for a very low microfilm price.

Seems like everyday, another organization makes a move to digitize negatives to preserve historical records. http://chilp.it/349d00

MIcrofiche Scanning and Insurance Policies

Many small and giant insurance companies or organizations that provide or manage insurance benefits to workers (such as governments and unions) keep their records on microfiche. This used to be the standard, and in fact, many organizations to this day still work with the fiche as opposed to using a microfiche scanning solution, which would digitize the entire collection.

There are many benefits in which microfiche scanning can help such organizations:

- Microfiche scanning would use less labor to accomplish the same tasks.
- Microfiche scanning allows more productive use of employee time
- Microfiche scanning reduces office filing space
- Microfiche scanning enables cost savings by eliminating a storage warehouse or paying a company to store and retrieve your fiche (you know who they are).

Most insurance fiche I've seen contain policy number, name, and sometimes social security number. A policy holder may have records covering more than one individual fiche. Generally speaking most retrieval systems use a multi-page tiff or multipage pdf named by policy number and/or name. Other final file formats include single page files linked to a load file or database.

The first reaction of an organization with insurance records on fiche is to buy their own scanners. Once they realize how large the pricetag is, they may settle for a cheap scanner or reader printer and simply digitize the fiche on an "as-needed" basis. However the most ideal scenario is to simply send the fiche to Generation Imaging to convert the backfile and ongoing requests. This solution is the one which many companies have told us they regretted not doing first.

Become a Florida Microfilm Scanning Reseller

Becoming a reseller for Florida microfilm scanning services is a great way to generate revenue. In this current economy money is hard to come by, so every avenue should be explored. Generation Imaging has a very open-minded Florida microfilm scanning reseller program. Our pricing is so low that you can mark up your own commission. This is because we are Florida microfilm scanning wholesalers with no middle-men. The employees at Generation Imaging have scanned thousands of different types of Florida microfilm scanning projects and the bulk of our clients have been resellers over the decades.

If you can get the leads, you can resell the project to us. You can be an individual, have an LLC, or work for an organization and go through them. You need to be motivated and always keep your eyes open for roll film. You need to network. We can help with information and what questions to ask.

There are two main ways for you to resell Florida microfilm scanning:

1) You can work the deal on behalf of yourself or your company and subcontract it to us. In this case, Generation Imaging would be the "silent partner" and your end-user would believe you are responsible for the roll film conversion. Generation Imaging would not "go around" you to steal the client. We can also assist you in closing the deal with our roll film conversion expertise. Ask us for a Florida microfilm scanning quote and you can either mark it up or get a percentage. Since you are the reseller, you would get invoiced by us and you would be responsible for payment to us.

2) You can simply refer the client to us and we would give you a commission. Again, written agreements between us will ensure than we do not steal your client.

Other Florida microfilm scanning companies are not as open-minded about reselling services. In fact, standard operating procedure for some of these businesses is to go after your client and bill your client direct. You would lose out on any future deals with the client. In some cases Option #2 may be up your alley so you don't have to deal with technical support or invoicing or it could be a one-time client, but at least we give you the option!

Many county clerks turned to microfilm scanning for updating their records system. An article from one of Florida's county reported the microfilm scanning conversion and credited the current clerk who is running for re-election. The microfilm scanning project add a great deal of functionality and cost effective benefits.

County records have been undergoing the process of microfilm conversion for counties around the nation. This is not a new trend but it is one that many counties still look forward to. The microfilm scanning of records is not necessarily expensive but counties generally need to budget ahead of time to allocate funds. Compare to years ago, microfilm scanning is less expensive, faster and superior in quality.

For the best customer service and most efficient document and imaging retrieval system, microfilm scanning is the way to go. Turning microfilm with documents of any type and any age, into digital images will facilitate an electronic system that can serve well for years to come. The microfilm scanning procedure that best fits your requirements can be easily identified. And the cost of the actual microfilm scanning conversion can also surprisingly low.

Microfilm Scanning has been very helpful for updating library records and historical information. http://chilp.it/d1d7b2

How Hard is Scanning Microfilm?

Scanning microfilm is no walk in the park, regardless of what some equipment vendors like to advertise. The Holy Grail of scanning microfilm has always been to automate the process as much as possible to increase productivity and decrease labor costs. As much as this is a profitable goal to strive for, the human element in scanning microfilm cannot be understated.

A human must determine the reduction ratio, i.e. how many times the frames were reduced from its original document size. The scanner operator must have the ability to measure the document frame and use an equation to verify the original document size. Operators must use their instincts and experience to notice if the reduction ratio changes in a project.

Scanning microfilm can product a multitude of different quality settings, and let's face it: quality is subjective. Some clients have different needs than others. One organization may insist on bringing out handwriting, while others have a need for seals or stamps. Some customers may not desire any noise or speckle, and will not permit a compromised scan. So it is futile to suppose that a machine has the ability to satisfy all scenarios. It takes human investigation and feedback from a client to set the quality standards, and it takes a human to perform the necessary trial and errors and setting modifications to achieve the optimal scan.

Scanning microfilm is truly a process that combines art and science, or creativity and technical aspects of production a final product.

Damian Hospital and Dan Gandul- two men whom I have worked with for years have showed me just how much focus and different scanning microfilm scenarios go into achieving an excellent final product.

How has scanning microfilm changed over the years? http://chilp.it/b51bb2

Have you ever considered convertingyour microfiche to digital images? http://chilp.it/c2da33

The easiest way to convert microfiche to PC is to have a scanning service bureau digitize it. http://chilp.it/dfc9a2

Turn Microfiche to Digital and Free Up Space

Have you ever considered converting your microfiche to digital images? You may not realize the advantages from an automated storage and retrieval system. The microfiche to digital conversion has many advantages that range from space saving, to reduction of related labor and manpower, and efficient customer services. There are many other benefits that all organizations using microfiche should seriously consider.

I had the opportunity to manage a massive microfiche to digital conversion project for an upscale corporation. At the time, the organization had 14 million documents stored within many thousands of microfiche cards. Since no microfiche to digital conversion had been performed, the company had developed a massive tray system to organized the cards for access to hundred of employees. Each microfiche retrieved for research, had to be returned to the exact location before another person could use it. The entire system used in excess of 20,000 square feet and hundreds of employees to work and maintain the system.

After the microfiche to digital conversion, the system changed dramatically. The entire collection of information was stored in a computer sitting on a desk. A backup was stored in hard drive for safety. The microfiche to digital conversion allowed separate users to access the data simultaneously over a network. And the service level increased to such a point that a handful of employees were able to complete the work previously done by hundreds. The cost of the microfiche to digital conversion was insignificant compared to the savings actualized by the company.

Easiest Way to Convert Microfiche to PC

The easiest way to convert microfiche to PC is to have a scanning service bureau digitize it. Many people don't realize how inexpensive the service is. But beware: not all scanning service companies have the same pricing. In fact, some scanning companies are totally outside of the market range.

Generation Imaging, located in South Florida, can convert microfiche for you at wholesale prices. That means the microfiche scanning cost includes no reselling fees or markups. Generation Imaging has excellent high volume conversion prices, and will also gladly assist researchers, veterans, or clients with just one fiche card or a few of them.

There are a few other options you can choose to convert microfiche to digital images, but they are more time consuming and the quality is suspect. For example, if one believes a Yahoo Answers exchange you could take photos of microfiche frames with a camera instead of using a professional scanner. On another forum, someone suggested using a slide scanner or flatbed scanner. Based on internet advertisements, one may believe one can use a ScanPro 2000 to convert microfiche, but the quality levels and time it takes to scan one card doesn't justify the pricetag.

Speaking of pricetags, new high end microfiche equipment is in the $50,000+ range. You can invest time in looking for used equipment to convert microfiche, but speaking as someone who has been in this industry for decades, have fun training a labor force, creating a workflow, setting up a network, getting support, and replacing parts in a timely manner.

Microfilm scanning therefore takes roll film to the digital age.

Though it is suggested by catastrophe recovery experts to at all times retailer the physical reels for backup purposes even after digitization, the time and labor it takes to retrieve a specific file isn't practical.

Digitizing Microfiche: Managing Expectations

The process of digitizing microfiche offers challenging situation for many operators. Depending on the quality of the source microfiche and the scanning equipment in use, the image output can differ from situations.

Even with the latest microfiche scanning technology from NextScan, some people have different expectations about image output. Transferring microfiche to digital images is a mass production process, and generally at 200-300DPI and using the different scanning software algorithms like edge enhancement, deskeckle, deskew, autocropping, smooth, and gamma correction should create a usable product. For poor quality images, greyscale images can be created (4-bit, 8-bit, LZW, JPEG etc.) However, if the jacket fiche or COM fiche is not ideal an exact duplication from fiche to image is not realistic.

In order to achieve the best possible quality in any situation, it is best if the microfiche conversion process  is performed by a professional operator. This would be someone with many years of experience using various equipment that has converted similar microfiche with similar quality standards.

Putting microfiche in an Eyecom fiche reader or making individual manual adjustments on a Cannon reader printer is 100% different than microfiche scanning using a NextScan microfiche scanner or other systems.

Microfilm Scanning: Lowest Microfilm Scanning Price

Scanning Depot is the best when it comes to scanning your microfilm. With updated microfilm scanners, Scanning Depot can scan all types of microfilm, such as 16mm roll film, 35mm roll film, 16mm 3m cartridges, 16mm COM film, duplex film, aperture cards, and more.


Scanning Depot strives to have the lowest microfilm scanning prices in the industry. When it comes to service and price, you will not find another company like Scanning Depot.  If you have already experienced the efficiency offered by the staff of Scanning Depot, then you know first hand, but if you have not given us an opportunity before, I guarantee you will be 100% satisfied.

Microfiche Scanning

We use the latest in microfiche scanning technology, and can scan all types of microfiche, such as COM fiche, jacketed fiche, step and repeat fiche cards, 35mm jackets, duplicated fiche, rewritable microfiche (AB Dick and Microx), and more.

Scanning Depot strives to have the lowest microfiche scanning prices in the industry. When it comes to service and price, you will not find another company like Scanning Depot.  If you have already experienced the efficiency offered by the staff of Scanning Depot, then you know first hand, but if you have not given us an opportunity before, I guarantee you will be 100% satisfied.

Transfer Images To Microfilm (archive writing)

Another Service provided by Scanning Depot is archive writing.

In addition to digitally converting microfilm to PDF, TIFF, or JPEG, Scanning Depot also can reverse engineer and transfer images to 16mm microfilm (silver original or diazo duplicate).

For example, if you convert documents to image and need a microfilm backup, we can transfer the images you created into 16mm film with a 32X reduction ratio. If the images are multi-tiff or multi-pdf, we can create dual level blips on the film. If the images are large e-size drawings, the better film to use is 35mm roll film. This is due to the reduction ratio that is needed to film the images at the correct size. We can also create 35mm roll film from images. We also can create microfilm labels on the 16mm or 35mm microfilm reels we archive write.

Aperture Card Scanning And Conversion to PDF

Converting aperture cards to digital format is a process that can be great benefits for you. Here are some details of a project we just finished.

We recently converted around 100,000 aperture cards to PDF. These were engineering drawings and architecture schematics. We read the hollerith punch code, but some cards did not have the aperture card holes, so we performing a data entry keying from the image.

We sorted the aperture cards by positive vs negative, orientation, and to an extent drawing size, before we started. Preparing an aperture card job is very important, and if you don't have the experience, you could find yourself in a world of trouble once you begin scanning.

A lot of aperture card scanners advertise that everything is automatic, but there is still inventory and prep labor involved in any project. Read more about aperture card scanning here.

16mm Roll Film, 3M Cartridge, 35mm Roll Film Jobs

To gain real knowledge in the microfilm scanning industry, you need to get your hands dirty with actual production process. Here is an example of some project we are working on. Each one is unique and presents the operator with different challenges. An experienced staff such the one at Scanning Depot can process all these projects for you.

We completed a 35mm roll film containing building permits, 16mm cartridges containing school records, and 16mm roll film containing college transcripts. The 3m cartridges were the more challenging ones, but thanks to our experience and updated microfilm scanning equipment, we were able to convert the cartridges to TIFF with no problems.

The 35mm film was unfortunately filmed poorly, but we still were able to detect all of the images using specialized detection programs. It's easier said than done, of course, but there is nothing like hands on to gain experience.

Microfilm Scanner Maintenance

Check the maintenance program for microfilm scanning equipment and you may be surprised at how expensive it can get to keep these systems serviced.

If you have a Sunrise, Wicks and Wilson, NextStar, or Mekel roll film scanner, one question you will soon be asking is "Where can I get microfilm scanner maintenance?" The problem is that microfilm scanning technology breaks down, and if you don't the original service agreements with the manufactures, service from other vendors is difficult to get. If you don't follow procedures, and let your microfilm scanner service agreement lapse, you will be paying thousands of dollars to replace parts, fix, and repair these machines.

It's one of the horrors of trying to be in the microfilm scanning business if you don't have the experience and technical know-how, like Scanning Depot has. If you have microfilm that needs to be digitized, contact Scanning Depot for a microfilm scanning quote and price estimate today. They can also do a test run for you for free, and the information they will share with you can also help you with your microfilm conversion project.

Transfer and convert microfilm to TIFF or PDF In Florida

Understanding a bit more about your microfilm can help you with your next microfilm conversion project. Here is more information that can be useful for you.

Frames contained on 16mm rolls can be converted to TIFF, JPEG, or PDF images. 16 mm roll film may have been filmed as simplex (one document per frame), or duplex (two images side-by-side on each frame). Many times the duplex images contain the front and back of the original source document. Depending on your needs, Scanning Depot can scan both document sides in one frame, or split out the two documents into separate images.

There are many variations of image orientation. For instance, images can be filmed positive or negative, with variable image lengths, and different sizes. There may also be inconsistencies in regards to image density due to film degradation or inconsistencies in the original development process. However, Scanning Depot's production team and technical experts will always bring out the best potential from any form of media during the microfilm scanning process.

Microfilm Scanning Complexity

Microfilm scanners for microfilm conversion projects are more complicated than some people think. Although there is simple scanning equipment that can solve small tasks, for real scanning production you need a microfilm scanner that can take care of any and all issues that you will encounter. For scanning 16mm microfilm or 35mm microfilm you can use the same system if you get the right brand. Other systems only allow you to do one size. For scanning microfiche, you will need to make major conversion or get a specialized system.

Good microfilm scanning equipment will offer an experienced operator many tools to work with. All of these tools have a good reason to be there but if you are new to the process, the amount of information that you need to know can be overwhelming. It takes a person many months of training and operating this expensive scanning equipment to be able to make the best use of an advanced microfilm scanner. You may get by with just knowing some things, but like with everything else, you are not going to get the best results or good results until you really know what you are doing.
