     Preserving the highest quality images possible is a job that requires special equipment and handling. Only a handful of companies nationwide are qualified to perform this job properly. IOS is one of three Kodak Certified Microfilm Preservation Labs in the country. We understand how proper processing, quality assurance testing, and storage of microfilm archives can help ensure that the life expectancy of your microfilm library is measured in centuries.

     Once Vinegar Syndrome, Redox, or other microfilm degradation begins, it can spread rapidly throughout your microfilm records. A detailed evaluation of your microfilm, storage and handling techniques can provide the insights you need to stop this degradation before it becomes irreversible.

     Having completed a comprehensive Kodak Preservation Inspection Training Program, IOS lab personnel are experts in microfilm inspection and preservation, allowing them to accurately evaluate any microfilm archive. In addition the IOS team can:

Understand and explain the importance of environmental conditions (relative humidity and temperature) and their impact on archived microfilm. Identify microfilm degradation anomalies and limit their impact on image quality for both acetate and polyester microfilm formats. Suggest corrective plans that provide a blueprint for moving ahead with archive restoration. Understand the use and employment of molecular sieves in preserving microfilm for long-term storage. Determine the acidity levels of acetate film affected by Vinegar Syndrome. Correctly use and optimize silver duplication techniques. Correctly employ the use of Kodak Brown Toning to prevent microfilm deterioration.

     Whether you need a comprehensive evaluation of your microfilm library and storage facilities or specific restoration and preservation work, IOS' expertise can ensure that you receive the highest quality result. Our inspection package includes:

Detailed microfilm inspection	Brown Toning of existing microfilm
Silver duplication	Molecular sieves
Acid and Lignin-free boxes	Vinegar Syndrome test strips
