Microfilming documents provides long-term preservation of vital information for organizations in a cost-effective manner. While digitizing documents seems convenient, digital archives are vulnerable over long periods of time due to technological obsolescence and risks of data loss. The best approach is to use both digital and microfilm backups, with microfilm providing a reliable method of preserving information for decades to come due to its stability and ability to withstand disasters and errors. Microfilming eliminates storage costs and risks associated with digital preservation alone, making it a wise choice for critical information that needs to be retained and accessible over very long periods.
