Are records still microfilmed?
No. We began the switch from filming to scanning in 2004. Now all records are scanned. We have the ability to generate microfilm of any digital image through the use of a Kodak Archive Writer, which has the ability to put digital images on microfilm guaranteed to last 500 years.
