Micrographics is the process of transferring information onto film. It became a very popular method for preserving files and photographs in the 70s, and while it is not as common today, it is still a very effective way of storing information. With micrographics, your information can be stored onto microfilm, microfiche, or aperture cards. These can be used in places, such as schools, courts, your personal home, and many others.
Benefits of micrographics:
- One of the key benefits of micrographics is that it is highly dependable in court. It can never be altered, it lasts forever, and it preserves evidence.
- It is an effective way to archive newspapers, documents, blueprints, and other delicate documents.
- It is consistent – you never have to update it because it doesn’t require hardware or software to operate.
- You can store an infinite amount of information.
