In a world increasingly driven by digital access, preserving and retrieving historical and archived information is more critical than ever. For organizations holding extensive archives of microfilm, microfiche, and large-format documents, the task of converting these physical records into digital formats might seem daunting. That’s where IMR Digital, a KDI Company, steps in.

With over four decades of expertise, IMR Digital specializes in transforming microfilm, microfiche, and even fragile historical documents into accessible, searchable digital files. Here’s how our conversion services can benefit your organization.

What Is Microfilm and Microfiche Conversion?

Microfilm and microfiche were once the gold standards for archiving documents, newspapers, and other records. But these physical formats have limitations: they require specialized equipment to view, are prone to degradation over time, and lack the accessibility of digital formats.

At IMR Digital, we use state-of-the-art scanning technology to digitize these archives. Whether it’s standard aperture cards, microfilm rolls, or microfiche sheets, we convert them into high-quality digital images that can be stored, accessed, and shared with ease. Imagine turning decades of physical records into searchable files available with just a few keystrokes.

Our Specialized Capabilities

IMR Digital has the expertise and equipment to handle a wide range of document types and sizes:

  • Microfilm and Microfiche Scanning: We digitize standard microfilm rolls and microfiche sheets, ensuring accurate and high-resolution digital conversions.
  • Large Format Documents: Even oversized documents, such as engineering blueprints or architectural plans, can be digitized with precision.
  • Historical Records: Our technology and expertise allow us to carefully scan and digitize fragile documents, including books and archives from as far back as the early 1800s.
  • Aperture Cards: Specialized scanning services for aperture cards ensure your technical drawings and data are preserved in digital formats.
