Rescuing Records, Preserving Truth
Secure Microfilm Digitization for Law Enforcement & Government Agencies
Microfilm doesn’t last forever.
Vinegar syndrome causes acetate film to break down—fading images, weakening plastic, and permanently destroying records. For the City of Portage, that meant 760 rolls of police microfilm holding 25 years of criminal history at risk.
Hear how Document Mountain turns fragile, aging film into secure, searchable digital records—without damaging the originals.
One View of the Truth
Paper and microfilm create duplicate files, outdated copies, and inconsistent records. We eliminate shadow files by creating a centralized, indexed digital archive—so everyone accesses the same verified record at the same time.
Traditional scanners can damage brittle microfilm.
Our ribbon scanning technology captures the entire reel as a continuous high-resolution image—preserving margins, annotations, and faint details without stop-start tension.
We enhance images through deskewing and despeckling to ensure clarity without altering content.
Searchable. Indexed. Verified.
OCR makes files searchable. Manual metadata indexing ensures accuracy. Our multi-tier quality assurance includes:
