Why microfiche?

An archive microfiche jacket collection of members pension files was the ideal medium format to store information before the digital revolution as the microfiche jacket was a unique individual record that was also updatable with the collection holding the whole history of the pension archive.

Safeguard your data.

The provision to convert member’s pension records held in a microfiche jacket or a roll film format to a digital archive will safeguard the long-term retention and retrieval of the archive which could contain many millions of records. Digitising the archive will provide a securely stored, easily accessible, compliance with the records management and disaster recovery policies of the single source historic archive.
