SMI has more than thirty years of experience in preservation project planning. We
are recognized as a worldwide leader in the development and implementation of
preservation options dealing with brittle documents, books, manuscripts, photographs,
maps, drawings and other collections. SMI offers a wide array of technical
and professional services to the archive and library communities, and we specialize
in the microfilming of fragile and irreplaceable material. Because brittle paper cannot be restored, a solution must be implemented to preserve the image prior to complete deterioration of the original material. Compared to the expense and efficacy of other alternatives, 35 mm microfilm remains the most cost-effective, preferred and recommended medium of preservation for paper-based research materials. We microfilm brittle materials utilizing state-of-the-art software and non-contact camera equipment. The use of these technologies reduces the physical handling of the materials to a bare minimum.
