FILMING

Projects | BDM | Cemeteries | Newspapers | Filming


A small team of volunteers undertake extensive microfilming of records, as they are made available to the Society by various agencies.  Often the teams (under the supervision of the Microfilming Coordinator) film records for no charge in return for the retention of a copy for our own collection.  Usually this material results in the production of microfiche for library users.

The Society believes microfilming to be an integral and important part of the work done by the Society as it is, arguably, the best method of long-term storage of materials.

However, the Society is looking at the concept of digitising records and recognises the growing use of digital media to distribute this material.
