I am interested to hear from colleagues with experience of digitising microfilm records in-house.
We (initially) have up to 6000 microfilm reels to convert into digital files and to create metadata to be managed in a digital repository. Equipment costs seem to vary widely – as do scan speeds and staff input required, too create a usable resource.
Knowing of experiences in sourcing equipment, ideas of staff time and skill required to undertake this type of project and any unexpected costs/ problems/ benefits would be really useful.
Many Thanks
Joanne Fitton
