Microfilm storage

Microfilm should always be handled and stored with care. Storage of

 

your film should be based on the following:

 

∙ How long you want to keep the images on the microfilm: short,

 

medium, long term, or permanently.

 

∙ How difficult the images are to replace.

 

∙ The cost of preserving the microfilm.

 

For maximum protection of your microfilmed images, you should

 

duplicate each reel of film and use the duplicate reels for retrieval

 

operations. The original reels should be stored at a different location.

 

In general, use the same rules for storing microfilm as you would for

 

storing paper documents. For example:

 

∙ A relative humidity level between 15 and 60 percent should be

 

maintained.

 

◊ Relative humidity above 60 percent can cause mildew to form on

 

stored microfilm. Moisture-tight cans can help protect the film

 

against moisture.

 

◊ Relative humidity below 15 percent can cause a static charge to

 

build up on the microfilm, or cause older film to become brittle.

 

∙ Water damage: if microfilm becomes wet, the film may warp. Store

 

your film off the floor to protect it from flooding. If your microfilm

 

becomes wet, do not let it dry. This can cause the film to stick

 

together. Completely immerse the film in clean water, and have it

 

rinsed and dried by a professional processing lab as soon as

 

possible.

 

∙ Exposure to contaminants: paint fumes, coal gas, ozone, ammonia

 

(produced by some photo copiers), and other chemical

 

contaminants can cause microfilm to fade or form microscopic

 

blemishes. To avoid this damage, use air conditioning, air filtration,

 

and other means to remove airborne contamination.

 

∙ Using rubber bands on microfilm: residual sulfur from the vulcanizing

 

process can promote the growth of microscopic blemishes on the

 

film.

 

∙ Excessive heat: heat can cause the microfilm to buckle and distort,

 

or decrease readability. To protect your film from fire, consider using

 

fireproof storage vaults, cabinets, or safes.
