Leading the way

We're a family-run business with proud Yorkshire roots, serving professional businesses and heritage organisations across the UK. Step back in time to 1956 when the company was formed as a publishing venture to serve academic institutions in the microfilming of research materials and theses. At the time, microfilm was a cutting-edge technology and nearly 60 years later, we continue to move with the times to meet the ever-changing needs of our customers. Investment in some of the best technology, processes and people our industry has to offer, has allowed our service offering to expand into a range of industries within the professional and heritage sectors. We’re always pushing forward, looking for new opportunities and challenging what’s possible. We aim to always lead the way by constantly improving and refining what we do.

Our why

Why we do what we do is fundamental to our work at Microform. The entire team are dedicated to supporting business and organisations with the digital management of their documents, physical materials and archives. Why? Because efficiency is a key factor to success and longevity. Accessing, retrieving, preserving, and sharing key information in a way that is safe, secure and integrates seamlessly into your workflows is our priority. Our promise to you is to provide a hands-on and flexible service packed with value to create a genuine workable solution for you, your teams, and your market.

Our Values

We are committed to providing the end-to-end solution and care for your project, providing a bespoke solution to each and every client we work with. We care about your documents as much as our own and also take pride in preserving and digitising them for future generations.

Community spirit

The Microform community spans beyond our employees, customers, and partners. It extends into our local community too. We’re honoured to support local charities such as St George’s Cross and Yorkshire Air Ambulance to raise funds and awareness for the incredible work they do.

Our Development

In early 2024, we successfully completed a significant extension to our building facilities at our Headquarters in Wakefield, Yorkshire. This expansion enables the integration of state-of-the-art technology, a dedicated heritage bureau, staff break-out rooms, and sets the stage for new job opportunities, with a key focus on providing an even better customer experience.

/ Reviews from our Customers

Microform are one of the best companies that I have had the pleasure of working with in a long time. They work as part of the extended team, so communication isn’t an effort; it is a natural part of the process of getting the job done and delivering results.
Alison John Registration Services Manager, Warwickshire County Council
I love REG...the slick, quick and accurate re-production of any register entry is great, none of the staff at this office would go back to life without it!
Anne Atherton Superintendent Registrar, St Helens Registration Service
We have found the REG system a joy to manage and work with. Not only does it give us easy, speedy access to the certificates, we can now also offer a more professional, timely service to the public. All the staff have been impressed by how easy it is to use.
Microform Imaging have been a great company to work with, delivering excellent service and creating a unique, bespoke partnership.
Dawn Titherington Superintendent Registrar, Blackpool Council
Due to our repository being off site it was vital that we looked at alternative ways to work. Working with Microform and the REG system they had designed has transformed the way we work. No longer do staff have to leave the office to access registers on a daily/hourly basis all records are accessible instantly. Staff have welcomed the system and have full confidence in how to search, edit and print certificates. It has enabled us to offer a 2 hour turnaround certificate service for a premium fee increasing our income. Working with Microform has been a pleasure and one of most successful partnerships.
Gillian Greeson Superintendent Registrar, Wigan Council
REG has transformed the way in which we produce certificates. The process is simplified and streamlined and together with our ongoing indexing project has enabled us to achieve the efficiency targets required by the local authority.
Pat Evans Superintendent Registrar, The Register Office, Liverpool
From the first meeting we had to discuss our requirements with Mo, all the way through to now, communication in all forms have been exceptional. I very much doubt you could improve the quality of customer care and satisfaction. The relationship with Rachel throughout the project gave exceeded all my expectations, she has made the project a pleasure and stress-free experience. The level of professionalism and ''can do'' attitude she has shown from day one has been amazing and made what could have been a time of worry and concern for me, in to a feel-good working experience. Microform go the extra mile to make life easier!
Robert Harrison IT Director and Partner, HGF
I was thrilled to bits with the hard drive containing the scans of all my scrapbooks and would like to thank you very much for doing such a splendid job and for treating them with such great care.
