Staff are specially trained in book handling and have nearly fifty years' experience of microfilming newspapers. The replacement of hard copy newspapers by microfilm eases considerably storage and retrieval problems. Replacement microfilm can also be readily obtained subsequently, if required. Microfilm is visually checked for quality, frame by frame. Any which does not meet our rigorous standards is processed again.
Positive film is designed to stand up to years of intensive usage.
Our Reading Rooms attract around 40,000 readers per year. In optimum storage, our archival negatives may last three hundred years or more. Prices Quotations for microfilming are prepared for individual orders. We welcome remote payment by credit card.
