Scanning Archival Microfilm to Uncompressed TIFF Files

35mm Microfiche and 16mm Microfilm Roll film Scanning Services to TIFF, JPEG, PDF, PNG Digital Images

Oxford, Microfilm Scanning

We are currently working on several large archives of Microfilm in the two formats: 35mm and 16mm. These Microfilm are for archival purposes and as such require our HQ TIFF scanning services.

Each file is converted in an uncompressed format that will capture all the detailing of the images. Typically, this service is used for film that has captured rare books, with the original books unfortunately lost or destroyed.

With the Microfilm being the only copy, we need to ensure a very careful approach, using white gloves to eliminate dust particles and smudging of fingerprints on the film.

The Repair Shop - How To Spot A Ferrotype Camera 1855-1940s

After watching The Repair Shop on BBC1 restore a beautiful and rather rare ferrotype camera I thought a blog on the process would be interesting. Not only did they repair but they managed to have the camera working, taking photographs. This was very inspirational given the age of the camera. ABOUT FERROTYPE PROCESS Ferrotypes first appeared in America in the 1850s, but didn’t become popular in Britain until the 1870s. They were still being made by while-you-wait street photographers as late as the 1950s. The ferrotype process was a variation of the collodion positive, and used a similar process to wet plate photography . A very underexposed negative image was produced on a thin iron plate. It was blackened by painting, lacquering or enamelling, and coated with a collodion photographic emulsion. The dark background gave the resulting image the appearance of a positive. Unlike collodion positives, ferrotypes did not need mounting in a case to produce a positi...

Preserving Family Memories - caring for your heritage

Memories are an important part of all our lives. Old letters, photographs, scrapbooks, slides and negatives, glass plates, cine film, audio-visual tapes and many other things help us to recall our past and the history of our family and communities. All of these things, however, are subject to decay and eventual destruction if they are not cared for properly. Oxford Duplication Centre in Kidlington can support all our clients with digitisation of all consumers, corporate and heritage scanning and digitisation. Please do email cheryl@oxfordduplicationcentre.com or contact us 01865 457000 to discuss your project. Letters, Diaries, Books and Documents.

Other families have saved newspaper clippings of important family events, such as the announcemen...

Onion Skin Archive Book Scanning - What is this and how do we process the pages?

CURRENT BOOK SCANNNING PROJECT. We are currently working on a very large archive of old books that require HQ scanning to Archival TIFF images. Once processed, these images will be prepared to PDF with OCR (optical character recognition) for a complete searchable output. The difficulty in this order, is the books are prepared using a medium called Onion Skin Paper. Whilst we are very confident in preparing this type of medium, it is very important to be aware that there are risks with scanning, given the sometimes-fragile nature of the paper. Tears and rips can occur, so a very gentle white glove approach is required. Equally, with the nature of onion skin, the paper is very translucent which requires a sheet of white paper to be placed under each page before scanning. This then grants a very good HQ image that we can work with. WHAT IS ONION SKIN PAPER? Onion skin paper is a type of very light weight, almost translucent paper that ...
