What does the microfilm look like, and what features does the viewer offer?
You can try out a demo of several reels for free here. The images are created from National Archives microfilm and the quality is identical to the original images on their physical counterparts. Our viewer allows you to view the filmed documents in their original sequence, exactly as you would with a “traditional” microfilm reader machine. When you click on a specific image in the sequence, you can rotate, zoom in and out, and adjust the brightness and contrast of the document you’re viewing. Additionally, there are many features which are only possible when working with digital images, such as sharpening, de-noising, inverting black and white, etc., which can help make old documents much more legible.
