Does anyone have any ideas on digitalizing microfilm? I have a scanner that scans microfilm but it won't do the old newspapers on microfilm because it's too small and bright. I don't have a microfilm reader at home. I even though about projecting it on a wall and taking pictures but that won't look too good.
