Abstract :
During the last six to seven decades, hundreds of millions of vital records have been archived using micro-film and micro-fiche technologies. Recently, a sizable number of these have gone bad since they were not stored in strict environmental conditions, such as controlled humidity and temperature. This talk looks at the migration that has recently taken place in replacing film with Silicon wafers that can withstand both high levels of humidity and extreme temperatures. Examples of manuscripts that are many centuries old will be presented.
