Making Indiana's History Accessible to Anyone from Anywhere

The Community History Archives

Give your historic documents a new life and give your community an easy-to-use resource by converting your local newspaper microfilm to a fully-searchable digital archive. 


Microfilm Digitization

35mm microfilm is the “gold standard” for archiving the pages of printed history found in newspapers and other historically significant documents. Digitizing this microfilm allows a searchable, and far more practical, method of accessing it.

Documents & Records 

Printed, handwritten, and even drawn content contained in the city, county, state, personal, and even business documents provide invaluable insight into the people, places, events, and accounts in a “snapshot of time”. 


Preservation Microfilming

We use the only proven long-term preservation method for newspaper & document preservation, microfilming onto silver halide 35MM archival quality film. This polyester-based microfilm is the only medium currently recommended for preservation microfilming


Commercial Imaging

Document imaging services and document scanning services from AdvantageDS3 include indexing and online document hosting. We integrate existing databases with files kept in paper, microfilm, and microfiche. 




Maps & Atlases

Our purpose-built, high-resolution large format scanners and our sophisticated two-camera digital imaging systems allow us to capture your maps and other large-format documents, as well as historical atlases, land records, plats, or other bound volumes in a non-destructive manner, providing the best possible image quality.
