The full report of Cornell's Digital to Microfilm Conversion Project is now available on the Web page of the Department of Preservation and Conservation, Cornell University Library http://www.library.cornell.edu/preservation/com/comfin.html This report presents findings on quality, cost, and process in a two year study to test and evaluate the use of high resolution bitonal imaging to produce computer output microfilm (COM) that can meet national preservation standards for quality and permanence. The project, funded by the National Endowment for the Humanities, is complementary in scope and approach to Yale University's Project Open Book, also funded by NEH, to digitally convert previously filmed research library materials. The Cornell report offers a comparative assessment to this project._________________________________________________________________
