Not only because of age but, some places do not rinse the film well
enough and it degrades quicker. Not to mention temperature and humidity
which we're all aware of, too. That's why I have always had a regular
routine on checking film

Folks,
One thing to remember about microfilm (or microform) is that it is human
eye-readable and does not require the intervention of computers.  So
long after computer applications have returned to the primordial ooze
one can still read what's on the microfilm.  Dick King, U of A
