You may find the list of companies who supply scanning and digitisation services on Designing Libraries' Marketplace at http://www.designinglibraries.org.uk/index.asp?PageID=133 a useful starting point. Certainly the trend I am observing, working with some of these companies, is to transfer earlier microfilm formats to digital files that can be more easily accessed, in the library or online, so you may find microfilming will not meet future digital access strategies. The technology for quick and effective scanning is improving all the time, giving you a number of competitive options to consolidate ongoing digitisation with retrospective conversion of microfilm holdings.
