Microform

Microforms are any forms, either films or paper, containing microreproductions of documents for transmission, storage, reading, and printing.

All microform images may be provided as positives or negatives, more often the latter. Three formats are common: microfilm, aperture cards and microfiche. Microcards, a format no longer produced, were similar to microfiche, but printed on cardboard rather than photographic film.
