A small team of volunteers undertake extensive microfilming of records as they are made available to the Society by various agencies. Often we 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.

Such material includes:
• burial registers
• newspapers
• church records

The team also undertakes extensive work for other project managers and especially the BDM Re-indexing Project where the numerous registers held by the SA Registrar of BDM are filmed to facilitate the indexers' work.

It is recognised by the Society that the days of significant microfilming projects are coming to an end as technology overtakes the process. The Society is looking at the concept of digitising records and the growing use of CDs as the medium to distribute this material. We recognise that microform is the appropriate format for long term preservation of records and we will work cooperatively and support the State Records of SA, the National Archives of Australia (Adelaide Office) and the State Library of SA to ensure this work continues but we do see this as a primary role for a family history society.
