A microform is a scaled-down reproduction of a document, typically either photographic film or paper, made for the purposes of transmission, storage, reading, and printing. Three formats are common: microfilm (reels), microfiche (flat sheets), and aperture cards. In addition to filming from original paper documents, equipment is available that accepts a data stream from a computer and directly produces a microform.
