Hi Bill,
Our microfilm scanners in the Library will scan images from microfiche. You would have to come here to do this. It is free if you bring your own flash drive.
Let me know if you have any further questions.
Best wishes,
Lori

Subject: Scanning microfiche
I want to scan and digitize several microfiche films (inside a 4x5 inch
sleeve). I have a good Epson V600 scanner which does film. When I scan
the microfiche at 3200 dpi, the letters on the document come out blurry.
When viewed on a microfiche viewer, it's very clear. Has anyone else
ever attempted to do this? Or is the microfiche film just too small to
be scanned this way?
Thanks,
Bill
