14 Archives and record storage. Paper Advantages It is a stable archival form when properly stored. It is easy to view. Disadvantages Uses the most physical space. Items can get misfiled and lost. Fragile (fire or water damage)

15 Archives and record storage. Microfilm Advantages It is compact, with far smaller storage costs than paper documents. It is a stable archival form when properly processed and stored with life expectancy of 500 years. Since it is analog (an actual image of the original data), it is easy to view (If you have a reader). It is virtually impossible to mu?late Prints from microfilm are accepted in legal proceedings as subs?tutes for original documents. Disadvantages Requires analog or digital magnifica?on to be read. Reader machines used to view microfilm are ofen difficult to use. Reader- printers are not always available. Like all analog media formats, microfiche is lacking in features enjoyed by users of digital media.
