10. Standards for microfilm
BSI is the prime UK source of BS and ISO standards. G G Baker & Associates were closely involved in the development and improvement of British standards for micrographics and assisted with progress towards international integration. The International Standards Organisation (ISO) now lists many standards relating to micrographics and electronic records management, most of which are based on previous BSI standards. All BS and ISO standards are available from the British Standards Institution at www.bsigroup.com. G G Baker & Associates no longer stock them. BSI Non-member prices are quoted in the following lists - there are discounts of up to 50% for BSI members.
Gerald Baker was the Chairman of the BSI and ISO micrographic committees for many years and he also Chaired the working group responsible for COM. G G Baker & Associates used to organise seminars on document management subjects and one of the questions most frequently asked by delegates related to the legal status of microfilmed documents. At one of these seminars, held at the Chartered Accountant's Hall in London in 1982, Mrs H S Fletcher Rogers, who represented the Bar Association for Commerce, Finance & Industry, presented a paper which had far-reaching consequences because it sparked a demand for an advisory standard on the subject.
Gerald Baker wrote to all of the microfilm associations elsewhere in the world asking for a brief description of the legal position in their countries - their replies were included in a paper he presented at the same seminar. He then headed a BSI working group which prepared a Draft for Development - it was issued in 1984 under the title Preparation of Microfilm and Other Microforms that may be required as evidence. It is still available today as BS 6498: 2002 and remains one of the best available sources of guidance. It has since been used as a model for subsequent standards relating to the legal aspects of digital images. Unfortunately it is now priced at £116 for those who are not members of BSI.
When preparing the following lists we have tried to include all of the main standards and publications relating to the legal status of microfilmed and scanned documents as we are aware of the widespread interest on this subject. We have ignored many standards applying to very limited applications or industries - such as those only applying to aviation. We have also omitted many standards and recommendations which specifically apply to public libraries and public archives as they will be very familiar with them.
When seeking a standard by its reference number, please note that we have now listed BS and BS ISO standards by number - ignoring any prefix. We hope that this will lead to faster searches when only the number is known. Most standards have titles that are self-descriptive but we have added a few notes where the content is not so obvious.
