Can you share the names of those most companies? Neil Bethke LMU Archives -----Original Message----- From: Archives & Archivists [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of C. Manoli-Skocay Sent: Sunday, April 09, 2006 5:22 AM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: future of microfilm Dear Tom: I'll join the discussion, since I was the one who posted earlier about buying a new microfilm reader-printer. What you have heard was confirmed by the sales rep. we've been dealing with-- most companies are ceasing production of microfilm machines. However, we will continue to use microfilm for the forseeable future. We have newspapers, manuscripts, scrapbooks, etc., on microfilm, and certainly not the budget to convert them to a digital format. We'll still have a need for a microfilm reader for a long time to come.
