The LE (Life Expectancy) of diazo film is 100 years IF the film meets the
conditions of ANSI IT9.5 and IT9.11.

Normally the silver master would be your film to archive.
The silver master of these duplicates should still be available.
You should consider using the silver master for your scanning project.

> I have several years (1989 - 1996) of COM fiche that I am looking to
convert to digital (already out for quotes). Seems to me sometime long ago,
I heard COM fiche (diazo) only had a life of approximately 7 - 10 years
although I have been unable to verify this.  We will be adding funding for
the next several budget years to convert these records as they have a
retention of over 50 years.  In the meantime, would it help to make a copy
of the fiche to prolong the life another 7 -10 years?
