Microfilming
Microfilming is basically defined as the process of converting paper records or photographs, drawings, blueprints (anything printed in paper form) into an analog filmed image. It can also encompass computer generated information which is converted into "COM" which stands for computer output to microfilm.
While many may consider this technology a thing of the past, which is being rapidly replaced by digital imaging, microfilm still remains a highly reliable, cost effective, and useful method for storing and retrieving information.There are a number of industry and application specific situations where filming remains the preferred method for the preservation of information, and for disaster recovery purposes.
