🗂️ Ever seen those tiny images of old documents on sheets of film? That’s microfiche! So, how do those go from film to the Internet Archive? See how these records are digitized at the Physical Archive tour!
It's a once-a-year opportunity to witness preservation processes up close.

@internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org I remember at the time when documents were transferred to microfiche we thought “now it’s FINALLY save for long term preservation”. Researching with microfiche was exhausting. No search function. The dim light gave me a headache.

@internetarchive@mastodon.archive.org It'd be really useful if you could describe the equipment and processes you use for microform scanning!
