MICROFORM & ARCHIVAL DIGITISATION
Microfiche Scanning & Digitisation
Professional digitisation of 16mm and 35mm microfiche, microfilm and aperture card collections for corporate, engineering, library, archive and heritage records.
ScanPro Professional TechnologyHigh-resolution microform digitisation
Professional Microfiche Scanning
Microfiche is a flat sheet of film on which multiple pages are captured in reduced size. The standard microfiche sheet is approximately 105 × 148mm, making it a compact way of storing large quantities of information.
Oxford Duplication Centre digitises microfiche and related microform collections into practical digital files, helping organisations preserve information, improve access and reduce reliance on ageing microform viewing equipment.
35mm Microfiche
Professional scanning of 35mm microfiche and related microfilm material, suitable for technical, corporate and heritage collections.
Jacket & Specialist Fiche
We can support jacketed microfilm, specialist fiche collections and larger archive projects, with indexing and file delivery options available.
Microfiche, Microfilm & Aperture Card Services
Using ScanPro Professional Technology, we can convert microfilm, microfiche and aperture cards at resolutions of up to 1200dpi, with outputs selected to suit the intended use of the collection.
High-Resolution Scanning
Capture options include standard scanning and higher-resolution archival files, helping preserve detail from older microform originals.
PDF, TIFF & JPEG
Common delivery formats include PDF, TIFF and JPEG. Other output requirements can be discussed as part of the project specification.
Indexing & File Organisation
Scanning includes 12 keystrokes for indexing. Additional indexing is available at £14.00 per 1,000 keystrokes.
Bulk or Scan on Demand
Collections can be processed in bulk or through a scan-on-demand workflow where individual records are required over time.
Why Digitise Microfiche?
Digitisation can make information held on ageing microform easier to access, manage, search and share while creating a new digital copy for ongoing use.
Preserve Valuable Information
Create high-quality digital copies of records held on microfiche and related microform media.
Improve Access
Digital files can be accessed without requiring specialist microfiche readers or viewing equipment.
Support Search & Retrieval
Indexing and, where required, OCR workflows can help organisations manage large collections more efficiently.
Corporate, Technical & Heritage Records
Suitable for business records, engineering information, libraries, archives, museums, universities and heritage collections.
