What kind of scanner do you have for microfilms, David? Brand name?
Approximate cost? Last time I checked they went for $7,000.

I use an ancient, bottom-of-the-market, PrimeFilm 1800u
negative/transparency scanner. It's hopeless/useless for photographic
transparencies (and who uses them today?) but fine for microfilm. An
example:

The very cheapest film scanners( like this PrimeFilm ) - but a higher
spec - cost about £60.

Bring it to your library and print it. A proper library will have
machines to view and print microfilms and -fiches. You can also buy a
USB-microfilm scanner and load the images as jpg or pdf into your
computer.
