1.14.2.10 STANDARD
FOR MICROFILM: This standard applies to the production of
traditional microfilm in which source documents are photographed utilizing a
camera and images are captured on film.
The measures outlined in this section are required to maintain the
integrity of the original records and to ensure that the microfilm produced is
an adequate substitute for the original record and serves the purpose for which
such records were created.
A. Agencies
utilizing a service provider for the filming, processing, duplication or the production
of microforms shall have a written agreement in place to provide for compliance
with this standard.
B. A microfilm
system shall be determined to meet minimum standards if the combined results of
the consumables (i.e. film, chemicals, etc.) and microfilm equipment meet the
standards developed or approved by the American national standards institute
for the production of microfilm (see 1.14.2.17 NMAC). The requirements of the
most current revisions of said standard shall prevail unless otherwise specified
in this rule.
C. Preparation for
microfilming: Materials to be
microfilmed require careful analysis and preparation to ensure the creation of
quality microfilm that is readily usable and easily understood. Important factors to be considered in determining which record series should be filmed
include retention period and volume. Only records in large volume or with long
retention periods should normally be considered. Before microfilming, materials must be
properly organized and collated.
(1) Records shall be
carefully inspected for completeness and the description and retention period
of the record verified.
(2) The proper order of the materials shall be
determined before microfilming.
(3)
Active records shall not be filmed with inactive records.
(4)
Documents from different record series may
be filmed on a single roll provided retention periods are the same.
D. Microfilm
qualifications: Agencies shall produce a
master negative microfilm and a working copy. An agency shall have a re-inspection
program and process in place for all master microfilm produced.
(1) Master microfilm shall:
(a)
be of a silver gelatin composition;
(b)
meet the minimum standards for the production of master microfilm
specified in this section for density, resolution, targeting and spacing;
(c)
shall be re-filmed if it fails inspection;
(d)
be stored off-site (for security purposes) for the full period
prescribed by the agency’s records retention and disposition schedule.
(2) Working copy microfilm is designated for
reference or everyday use in an office and may be of silver halide, diazo, or
of a vesicular composition. An agency
shall produce a minimum of one working copy of microfilm.
(3) If
multiple working copies of security or preservation microfilm are needed,
it is recommended that the production of such microfilm conform to a
three-generation system as noted in section 7.1 of ANSI/AIIM MS48-1990. Such a system consists of master negative; a
second-generation copy of the master negative that serves as a duplicate
negative to be used for producing additional copies; and one or more
third-generation working copies produced from the second-generation film.
(4) Agencies using microfilm systems that do
not produce an original silver gelatin film shall make a silver gelatin
duplicate negative that meets this standard before depositing such film for
storage at the SRCA.
E. Microfilm
targets. All microfilm shall have the
following targets to be in compliance with this rule:
(1) Statement of intent and purpose. A statement of intent and purpose shall be

microfilming is being done;
(c) statement indicating the records
microfilmed are in the legal custody of the agency, and that the records were
created as part of the normal course of business;
(d) statement certifying the agency is
microfilming in accordance with an approved microphotography plan on file with
the SRCA;
(e) statement certifying that it is the policy
of the agency to microfilm the specified records and that the microfilm is an

legal copy of record in lieu of paper, and that the paper records are destroyed
after microfilming in accordance with all requirements of the Public Records
Act; and
(f) name, title, and signature of records
custodian or microphotography program manager.
(2) Resolution target. Each roll of film will contain a photographic
image of a standard resolution test card or chart. ISO test chart no. 2 as specified by
ANSI/AIIM MS51-1991 (American National Standard for Microcopying--ISO Test
Chart No. 2--Description and Use in Photographic Documentary Reproduction),
must be filmed at the beginning and ending of each roll. These chart images should be used
to monitor resolution as filming progresses. The line patterns must be read in
each corner and in the center of each chart (or on a diagonal for rotary
cameras) and the lowest resolution reading must be posted to the film container
and to the guide sheet or other laboratory record. The cause of a substandard resolution must
be identified and corrected prior to further production filming. All substandard film shall be corrected
before shipping to the SRCA for storage.
(a)
Rotary cameras. A minimum
resolving power of 2.5 shall be read on the required test chart.
(b)
Planetary cameras. A minimum resolving power of 4.0 shall be read on the
required test chart.
(c)
Resolution readings shall be determined by following the procedures for
determining microfilm resolution as set forth in ANSI/AIIM MS23.
(3) Density target. The required background transmission density
maximum (Dmax) for source document microfilm is based on filming a target
consisting of a blank sheet of 20 lb white bond paper.
(a)

NMAC - N, 12-29-00; A, 07-15-03; A, 06-01-06]
1.14.2.12 STANDARD FOR COMPUTER OUTPUT MICROFILM (COM):
These standards apply to the production of master microfilm from records
digitally created (born digital) or imaged (scanned) from paper.
A. State
agencies shall utilize a COM system capable of recording faithfully onto
microfilm all of the information contained in the digital image. Agencies utilizing a service provider for
writing digital images to COM shall have a written agreement in place to
provide for compliance with this standard.
B. The
following standards for production, testing, and inspection of COM shall be
met:
(1) ANSI/AIIM MS1;
(2) ANSI/AIIM MS5;
(3) ANSI/AIIM MS28;
(4) ANSI/AIIM MS39;
(5) ANSI/AIIM MS43; and
(6) ANSI/NAPM IT9.17.
C. Record
grouping. Before converting images to
COM records shall be properly organized and grouped.
(1) Records shall be
carefully inspected for completeness and the description and retention period
of the record verified.
(2) The proper order of
the materials shall be determined before conversion to COM.
(3) Active records shall
not be filmed with inactive records.
(4) Documents from different record series may be
filmed on a single roll provided retention periods are the same.
D. Film writer quality control. State agencies shall ensure that the film
writer has the correct density/contrast level by using a reference white target
file with a range of 0.9 to 1.1.
E. Quality monitoring of images. Quality
monitoring of images is controlled at the time of document scanning. See 1.14.2.14
NMAC, standard for imaging.
F. Resolution standard: A system used to create
microfilm from digital images shall have a self-test process to ensure that all
of the available pixels are consistently available for recording purposes. The COM unit shall be tested regularly to
ensure optimal functionality.
G. Density:
(1) Density of master
negative COM shall measure between 0.80 to 1.20.
(2) Required base plus
fog density (relative Dmin) for unexposed processed microfilms shall not exceed
0.10.
(3) Background density on
positive appearing silver masters shall be no greater than 0.30.
H. Reduction
ratios: The selection of a reduction
ration is application specific. An
agency shall take into account the characteristics of the record, the task the
system is designed to perform, and the user requirements to be satisfied when
selecting a reduction ratio.
I. Image
resolution: Resolution shall be adequate
to duplicate all details of the document in order that the COM qualify as a
true copy of the original record. Image
resolution shall meet standards specified in Subsection G of 1.14.2.14 NMAC.
J. Image
formats. Digital images shall be in a
standard image format such as Group IV TIFF, BMP or PDF.
K. Blip coding.
To effectively organize a roll of COM the use of a multi-level
blip coding strategy may be used. Blips are rectangular marks exposed by the
film recorder under each page as they are written on the film. These marks can
be programmed to appear in different sizes to identify file level, document
level, page level, etc. images. Applying
this sequence to recorded documents, a large blip designates the first page of
a document while small blips indicate supporting pages within the document.
L. Page
orientation. Pages can be recorded on
microfilm in two ways. In “cine mode” where the text on a page runs
perpendicular to the length of the film and in “comic mode” where the text on a
page runs parallel to the length of the film.
Unless a lower reduction ratio is needed for acceptable image quality,
recording letter and legal sized pages in comic mode is preferable. This is accomplished
by rotating the images 90º prior to recording or feeding the page “sideways”
through the scanner. The advantage of comic mode recording is that more pages
can be written on each roll of film saving storage space and promoting more
efficient scanning in the event that the film needs to be used to recover lost
image data.
M. Page
spacing. Pages need to have sufficient
separation to allow a film scanner to reliably differentiate adjacent pages on
the film. There should be a minimum
separation of 0.06” (1.5mm) between adjacent pages. Pages that touch each other at any point may
preclude them from being captured separately by a microfilm scanner. Although maximizing packing density improves
scanning efficiency, documents recorded on film should not span rolls.
N. COM targets. All microfilm shall have the following
targets to be in compliance with this rule:
(1) Statement of intent and purpose. A statement of intent and purpose shall be
filmed at the beginning and end of each roll of film and shall contain the following
information:
(a) authority under which microfilming is
being done;
(b) name of the agency for which the
microfilming is being done;
(c) statement indicating the records
microfilmed are in the legal custody of the agency, and that the records were
created as part of the normal course of business;
(d) statement certifying the agency is
microfilming in accordance with an approved microphotography plan on file with
the SRCA;
(e) statement certifying that it is the policy
of the agency to microfilm the specified records and that the microfilm is an
accurate representation of the original copy which will be maintained as the
legal copy of record in lieu of paper, and that the paper records are destroyed
after microfilming in accordance with all requirements of the Public Records
Act; and
(f) name, title, and signature of records
custodian or microphotography program manager.
(2) Resolution test targets. COM produced from either scanned or born
digital images shall include manufacturer's
self-test targets specified in Subsection F of 1.14.2.12 NMAC.
(3) Density targets. See Subsection G of
1.14.2.12 NMAC.
(4) Start of roll target. Start of roll target shall contain the
following information:
(a) roll number;
