Libraries can afford to conserve only very small numbers of their deteriorating materials because of the enormous costs involved. Transferring materials to alternate formats is the major means available for preserving the intellectual content of significant numbers of documents. Microfilming remains the only proven and reliable means of creating surrogates for library materials. This document discusses the selection of material, preparation of material for microfilming, quality control for preservation microfilm, procedures for bibliographic control, and the storage of microform masters.
