Microfiche Scanning Services

Preserve and Digitise with Confidence

Specialist Microfiche Scanning by MDSS

At The Maltings Document Storage Solutions (MDSS), we offer professional microfiche scanning services that enable organisations to convert historical microfiche archives into high-quality digital files.

Whether you're managing legacy data or vital business records, our secure scanning solutions ensure easy access, long-term preservation, and compliance with data protection regulations.

Why Digitise Microfiche?

While microfiche was once a reliable storage format, it presents challenges in accessibility, preservation, and space usage. Over time, microfiche can deteriorate, and specialist equipment is required to view the contents. Digitisation helps organisations to:

Easily access and share information as digital files

Prevent deterioration of physical records

Save space by eliminating the need for bulky fiche storage

Enable remote access for hybrid and remote teams

MDSS can scan all common types of microfiche formats, including:

COM microfiche (Computer Output Microfiche)

Jacketed microfiche

Step-and-repeat microfiche

We produce high-resolution digital images in your preferred format (PDF, TIFF, or JPEG) and offer searchable PDFs using OCR (Optical Character Recognition) to make files easily navigable.

High-Resolution Scanning

Files are securely delivered via encrypted digital transfer, USB, or hard drive. Cloud-based storage options are also available for convenient remote access.
