[Genealib] Digitizing from microfilm

[Danielle Plumer]

Pretty much any microfilm company now can digitize from microfilm. The quality of the resulting images depends on the quality of the microfilm; most folks prefer to use the microfilm masters rather than the copies that have been made for distribution. 
 
That said, try Northern Micrographics ( http://www.normicro.com/) and Southwest Micropublishing ( http://www.swmicropublishing.com/). There are loads of other companies, but these two have a lot of experience with digitizing from microfilm, particularly with newspapers.

Anybody know of a company who can scan microfilm images and store them in computer digitized formats?
