We are trying to microfilm our  old copies of the Kings Mountain Herald and 
have contacted a company.   They have suggested that we use a overhead 
non-destructive book scanner and  from the digital images they would create the 
microfilm using a 35 mm archive  writer.  Do you think this is what we should do 
because I am unsure about  this stuff?  For duplicate copies do we want the diazo 
or silver? Also,  are there any technical specifications for the 
microfilming? What image  resolution do we need (dpi)? I would greatly appreciate any 
information anyone  can offer. 
I will be out of  the office until Monday morning, but I will appreciate any 
help anyone can  offer.
