Microforms are important records and display materials. Microforms with legal, scientific, industrial, artistic or historical value need to be protected to ensure that they have the longest possible life. The life expectancy of microforms is classified by LE value, 1.E-500 for ultra-long-term storage and LE-10 for medium-term storage. There are three major factors that affect the life expectancy of microforms: 1. Film properties
The stability of microforms depends on the physical and chemical properties of the film. Only microforms made of safety photographic film are suitable for storage. The specifications for safety photographic film can be found in G3/T 7430-199G. The LE value of microforms made of silver-gelatin white film with safety film base can reach more than 500 years.
2. Film processing and processing
The life of microforms also depends on the film processing conditions, that is, only microforms of silver-gelatin black-and-white films with sufficient fixing, thorough washing and proper drying can be stored for a long time. IS018901;2002 stipulates the maximum residual amount of thiosulfate for silver-gelatin black-and-white films with safety film bases according to different LE values. 3. Storage conditions of microforms
The damage caused by temperature, humidity, dust, fire, water, light, harmful gases, microorganisms and certain chemicals is an important factor affecting the life of microforms.
Exposure of microforms to high temperatures, especially high humidity conditions, will cause the degradation of the film base and emulsion layer. Cellulose ester bases degrade faster than polyester bases. Therefore, microforms made of polyester base films have a longer life. Storage conditions also include the packaging of the microforms. The requirements for packaging are specified in IS018902:2001. 1 Scope

After winding, fix the end of the film with a neutral or alkaline tape, etc. This tape material should comply with the provisions of 6, 2.2: Rubber bands should not be used to fix microforms. In order to prevent the lower part from being compressed and deformed during the storage of microforms, when the diameter of the microform wound on the disc or core exceeds 20cm, the core should be placed vertically. 6 Packaging and packaging materials
6.1 Packaging
6.1.1 Types of packaging
Packaging used for direct contact with microforms includes open packaging and protective packaging. 6.1.2 Requirements for packaging
6.1.2.1 The selection of packaging materials shall comply with the provisions of 6.2. 6.1.2.2 The packaging materials shall be clean.
6.1.2.3 Regular inspections shall be carried out in accordance with the provisions of 8.2. 6.1.3 Selection of packaging
When the microform library can meet the requirements of 7.1 and 7.2, microforms should be packaged in open packaging and stored in closed cabinets. If the microform library cannot meet the requirements of 7.1 and 7.2, or when stored under low light, microforms should be packaged and stored in protective packaging. 6.1.4 Packaging of microfilm rolls
The wrapping of microfilm rolls shall comply with the provisions of 5.1. Foil, thread or sleeve film can be used as protective packaging for microfilm rolls for ultra-long-term storage. After adjusting the temperature and humidity of the microfilm and the packaging according to the conditions specified in 71, the microfilm is placed in the above packaging. The seams of the packaging cover are sealed with multiple layers of low-permeability lecithin tape. To further prevent the influence of high humidity, the packaging sealed with adhesive tape can be placed in a liner bag and then heat-pressed and sealed for storage. When using adhesive tape for sealing, reseal it every two years. The adhesive tape is peroxide-free and can pass the photographic activity test given in ISO 1423:1999. The adhesive used should not come into direct contact with the microform. 6.1.5 Packaging of Sheet Microforms
Sheet microforms to be stored for an extremely long time should be packaged and stored in protective packaging to prevent erosion and physical damage by harmful gases or moist air. For example, they can be packed in foil-lined composite bags and evacuated, then heat-pressed and sealed for storage. If adhesives are used for sealing, they should be prevented from coming into direct contact with the microforms. The adhesives should comply with the provisions of 6.2.5. Sheet microforms should not be stacked for storage to prevent the microforms on the lower layer from being subjected to excessive pressure.
6.2 Packaging Materials
6.2.1 Requirements for Packaging Materials
The chemical properties of packaging materials should be stable and have sufficient physical strength. The packaging materials should not contain harmful components that promote aging of the microform image and the base, and should not release acidic gases and nitrogen oxides during storage.
Material containing rubber components should not be used.
6.2.2 Paper
Paper for packaging should be made of high-quality paper with α-fiber content higher than 87% and low lignin content, made of cotton, linen, rags, bleached sulfite pulp or bleached kraft pulp. The paper should not contain metal ions. The sizing agent should be neutral or alkaline. The paper should not contain paraffin, plasticizer and other components that can be transferred to the microform. The pH value of paper for receiving microforms should be between 7.0 and 0.5. The pH value measurement method is shown in GB/T 1545.1-2003. 6.2.3 Plastics
Plastics used to make storage containers should be anti-static, low in plasticity, free of residual solvents, inert, and free of peroxides, such as cellulose acetate, polyolefins, polyethylene, polyolefins and other plastics. Polyolefins, cellulose acetate and other materials should not be used. 6.2.4 Metal materials
Metal containers, stretchers and racks for storing microforms should be made of corrosion-resistant or anti-corrosion treated materials, such as stainless steel, electrolytic aluminum, aluminum alloy, and high-quality tin-plated or galvanized metals in accordance with GB/T 15737-2005. 6.2.5 Adhesives
Adhesives used for storing containers and films should comply with the requirements of IS018902:2001. They should not contain solvents and impurities that corrode microforms and containers (such as vegetable sulfur, iron, cadmium, etc.). For example, when gluing paper, adhesives such as photographic grade high-quality gel, polyvinyl acetate, and fiberglass can be used. 7 Storage environment
7. Relative humidity and temperature
7.1.1 Temperature and humidity control
The relative humidity and temperature of the microform storage environment should be controlled within the range of Table 1. The recommended temperature and humidity conditions can be controlled in the closed storage device (such as drawers, cabinets) of the microforms, or in the storage room: Reducing the storage temperature or relative humidity will extend the shelf life. Lower storage temperatures can be used to compensate for higher relative humidity to obtain the same probability of life. As specified in Table 1, one of several combinations of relative humidity and temperature can be selected to achieve an ultra-long-term storage environment. If the average temperature is reduced, a higher relative humidity range can be used, and the maximum relative humidity should not exceed 50%: Table 1 Storage temperature and relative humidity range for silver-bonded nesting white imaging film Medium-term storage

) Before microforms stored at normal temperature and humidity are packed in protective packaging, the temperature and relative humidity of the microforms and their packaging shall be adjusted to the range specified in Table 1 and then sealed. The air content in the packaging should be as small as possible; before opening the packaging of the microfilm stored at low temperature, the temperature of the microfilm in the packaging should be raised first, and then it should be balanced with the ambient temperature before opening, and then the relative humidity should be balanced. After the relative humidity is balanced to a certain degree, the microfilm can be used. The half-equilibrium time depends on the volume of the microfilm and the size of the temperature difference. It takes a longer time to reach relative humidity. 7.2 Air purification
7. 2.1 Hazards of air pollution
Dust, chemical pollutants and microorganisms in the air can easily damage microfilms, cause mold spots and fade images, so the air entering the microfilm library should be purified.
7.2.2. Purification of dust in the air
Use mechanical filters to filter out dust in the air entering the microfilm library. The filter should be a medium-resistant non-flammable type. The dust rate of the filter should not be less than 85, see GB/T6165-1985. 7.2.3 Purification of chemical pollutants
Common chemical pollutants that are harmful to microfilm images or film bases include sulfur dioxide, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur trioxide, ozone, ammonia and ammonia oxides, peroxides, nitric acid film base, film decomposition, and volatile gases from paint. During ultra-long-term storage, the following points should be noted when purifying the chemically polluted gas in the microfilm library: a) The microfilm library should be far away from the source of harmful gases, and the items in the warehouse should not release gases that are harmful to microfilms; GB/T 15737-2005
b) Remove harmful gases in the air of the warehouse by filtering or absorbing gas, especially acidic gases. For example: using an air purifier with treated water can eliminate "sulfur oxides"; using activated carbon can absorb sulfur dioxide and sulfides. However, these methods must be strictly controlled, and the use of activated carbon should be operated by professionals: Silver-gelatin microfilms and heavy microfilms, microbubble microfilms, and nitric acid-based microfilms should not be stored in the same room, and should not be stored in rooms connected to ventilation ducts;
d) When the microfilm library cannot be far away from gas sources such as toxic gases, the microfilms should be packaged in protective packaging; c) It is advisable to use mechanical ventilation to circulate the air in the microfilm library. 7.3 Fire prevention
7.3.1 Fire Hazards of fire on microfilms
In case of fire, high temperature, water and steam will cause deformation, adhesion and melting of the emulsion layer of microfilms, making them impossible to copy and read. 7.3.2 Fire prevention measures
7.3,2.1 Microfilms stored for a very long time should be made into at least two copies and stored in a different place. 7.3.2.2 The microfilm library should be separated from the working area. The air conditioning system of the microfilm library for a very long time should be separated from the air conditioning system of other working areas. 7.3.2.3 The fire resistance limit of the microfilm library should meet the requirements of the second-level fire resistance level specified in GBJ15-1987. 7.3.2, 4 The materials of the discs, cores and boxes of the workpieces should not burn or decompose more easily than the film. 7.3.2.5 The packaging of the microfilm should not burn after being subjected to a high temperature of 150°C for 4 hours, and the gas released should have little effect on the microfilm. Even if other packaging materials melt or deform at this time, they should not damage the microfilm inside or prevent the microfilm from coming out of the packaging. 7.3.2.6 In order to prevent the microfilm from catching fire or causing damage to the microfilm in the event of a fire, heat-resistant packaging should be used, and the packaged microfilm should be stored in a fireproof warehouse or an insulated microfilm cabinet. 7.4 Waterproof
The microfilm warehouse should prevent the intrusion of stagnant water or moisture, and dehumidification equipment should be installed when necessary. 7.5 Lightproof
Microfilms should be stored in a dimly lit environment to prevent light from directly irradiating the microfilms. 8 Management and inspection of microfilms
8.1 Management
Microforms stored for an extremely long time should be used as little as possible. The storage environment should be kept clean. When handling microforms, the author should wear thin cotton gloves or nylon gloves and only touch the edges of the microforms. Microforms on vinegar-based substrates should be stored separately according to their age to prevent cross-infection of volatile acid gases.
Silver-gelatin microforms should not be stored in the same packaging as microforms on other types of films (such as diazo films, microbubble films, etc.), nor should they be stored together with magnetic tapes and optical disks. 8.2 Inspection
8 .2.1 Inspection method
Every two years, select 20% of the microforms for sample inspection, of which 2% have been inspected before. If it is found that the temperature and relative humidity deviate from the specified range, or the microforms are damaged, the number and quantity of inspections should be increased, the cause should be found out, and remedial measures should be taken.
The inspection records of microforms should be kept.
8.2.2 Inspection items:
a) Changes in microforms (shape, discoloration, change in shape, curling, mold, scars, adhesion, micro spots, emulsion layer shedding and density reduction, etc.). b) Aging of containers, packaging materials, discs, cores, and boxes (such as brittleness, discoloration, etc.).
