Your Microfilm Preserved with Four Pillars of Care.
From gentle handling to searchable indexing, we employ a specialized process designed to ensure your delicate media is handled with utmost precision and accuracy.
We begin with a thorough assessment of each microfilm collection, noting film type (acetate or triacetate), condition, and potential signs of Vinegar Syndrome.
We provide detailed condition reports to clients before we even touch the reels.
Our trained technicians carefully handle each reel, employing specialized techniques to minimize stress on fragile film. We ensure your originals remain intact during the entire process.
We utilize state-of-the-art Mekel Mach10 Pro scanners to capture high-resolution images that accurately reproduce the original content. We prioritize non-destructive scanning methods to preserve your archive.
Images are carefully processed to enhance readability and correct artifacts. Rigorous quality control ensures accuracy, while comprehensive metadata is created for easy searchability.
"Every step is designed to ensure your history remains accessible forever."
Our Specialized Detection of Vinegar Syndrome
We don't just clean microfilm...we detect the chemical signature of acetic acid before it destroys your data.
The Problem
Chemical Instability: Acetate degrades over time.
Precise Detection Before Touching Film
We utilize specialized equipment and techniques to accurately identify and quantify the presence of acetic acid. This provides a baseline data point for monitoring deterioration.
Non-Destructive Testing: We detect the chemical threat without risking damage to your fragile original reels.
Diagnose Vinegar Syndrome Before Digitization
"Having managed this specific risk, we are ready to deliver your microfilm with Care, Quality, and Accuracy as promised in our core process."
