Microform is a method of record storage that consists of very small reproductions of printed documents onto film. Microform reduces documents to roughly 1/25 of their original size, enabling libraries to concisely store huge amounts of information. Microform comes in two formats: microfilm, which are reels of 16mm or 35mm film; or microfiche, which are flat sheets of photographic paper.
