BMI has successfully completed a major microfilm scanning project for the Diocese of Tucson Archives, digitizing an extensive collection of archival records. This effort supports enhanced access, preservation, and long-term security of important historical records.
SUNNYVALE, Calif., Dec. 11, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — BMI Imaging Systems, Inc. is proud to announce the completion of a microfilm scanning project for the Diocese of Tucson Archives. This project involved digitizing an extensive collection of microfilm records, ensuring that historical and critical documents are securely preserved and easily accessible for future generations. The Diocese, dedicated to safeguarding the history of the Catholic Church in Southern Arizona, partnered with BMI to enhance the availability of these invaluable records.
Working with BMI was an incredible experience. Their Digital ReeL solution provided us with the accessibility we needed while ensuring our microfilm records were preserved digitally. We couldn’t be happier with the results.
The completed project will provide digital access to previously microfilm-only documents, allowing the Diocese to better manage their archive and significantly reduce the time and effort required to locate specific records. This digital transformation not only helps preserve delicate, aging microfilm but also enables the Diocese to share historical insights with researchers and the community more effectively. BMI’s expertise in digitizing fragile records ensures that each document was handled with care and precision throughout the entire process.
Ana-Elisa Arredondo, Diocesan Archivist, commented: “Working with BMI was an incredible experience. Their Digital ReeL solution provided us with the accessibility we needed while ensuring our microfilm records were preserved digitally. The flexibility in the payment plan allowed us to move forward with the project, and the ability to use OLIS in the indexing process has made a world of difference for our team. We couldn’t be happier with the results.”
BMI is dedicated to working with a variety of organizations, including public and private sectors, to convert, digitize, and securely host client records. This project is just one example of the commitment BMI has to providing comprehensive solutions to organizations needing to manage historical, legal, and sensitive records.
