Microform Conversion
Cull’s digital transformation centre offers solutions for the conversion and digitisation of all formats of microfilm, microfiche and aperture cards.
Microform was ground-breaking in the 1950s, allowing newspaper content, AO engineering drawings and A4 documents to be preserved in a way that delivered both substantial space savings and ensured truly archival high-quality images.
Scaled-down copies of documents (typically either films or paper) were created in microform for the purposes of transmission, storage, reading, and printing. Microform types include flat film, microfilm, aperture cards, microfiche, and ultra-fiche.
Nowadays, there is a better alternative to storing microfilm libraries in analogue form; digitisation.
Digitised formats offer;
- Improved space savings
- Improved quality
- Searchability
- Fast retrieval
- Quick and easy access from anywhere in the world
- No need for special equipment

Microfiche FAQ's
Microforms are scaled-down copies of documents, typically either films or paper, made for the purposes of transmission, storage, reading, and printing. Microform includes flat film, microfilm, aperture cards, microfiche, and ultra-fiche.
Microfilm, is a roll of images like a movie reel usually either 16mm or 35mm in size. Because the documents are usually reduced to about 1/25 their normal size, microform storage can easily store thousands of documents without taking up much space.
A microfiche is a sheet of flat film, 105 x 148 mm in size, the same size as the international standard for paper size ISO A6. It carries a matrix of micro images, usually reduced to about 1/25 their normal size. The most commonly used format is a portrait image of about 10 x 14 mm. Historically, microfiche was used to preserve A4/A3 documentation.
The costs of digitisation are specific to each project. Our team will provide you with a detailed analysis for an accurate quote. The most significant factors that affect the price of a project are the total volume of documents to be scanned and the indexing required. Have a chat with one of the team today to find out more.
