After all, the older microforms get, the more people appreciate their unique attributes. Unlike some electronic media, microforms will ensure access to information for many years to come. Best of all, the images on microform are exact reproductions of the original, so users find information in its original context. Newspaper and periodical articles can be found among ads from the era, graphs, charts, and other articles that shed light on the day's events.
Exact reproductions bring users closer to the original document than text-only products.
