It may be less expensive to convert the Microfilm and Microfiche to a modern data base.

You can buy scanners or have a service do it.

The Microfilm and Microfiche can go bad over time and be lost forever.

this is from a site that does the conversions...


"Microfilm and Microfiche were at one time the best options for backing up critical data, accessing information and reducing the need for paper file storage. However, in the age of ever advancing digital technology, these microformats have proven to be obsolete. Image retrieval from microfilm and microfiche is very time consuming and requires bulky, out-dated readers to view. Plus, the film itself is vulnerable to decay and loss. Converting this legacy data to searchable digital files has tremendous benefits and is often a requirement for companies and government agencies."
