Abstract

<p>Microfilm has been widely used for media conversion and as a space-saving means of collecting materials. Since the 1970s, it has been considered the primary medium for long-term preservation because it can be expected to last 500 years or more in a low-temperature, low-humidity environment. However, it became known that TAC-based microfilms could experience a deterioration known as vinegar syndrome. In the 1990s, the transition to long-term preservation through digitization began to be discussed. This paper outlines the characteristics of microfilm, the current state of its holdings and use, its deterioration and preservation, the significance and use of microfilming newspapers, and its place in the digital age as a backup for digital resources.</p>
