IMAGEHost Image Retrieval System

IMAGEhost is an innovative digital preservation platform for microfilm that gives users the ability to easily access scanned microfilm rolls in their original format. With this software and image hosting solution, you have a convenient and affordable way to access digital images from anywhere using any device with internet connectivity.



24/7 microfilm availability from anywhere, on any device

Accessing microfilm collections has never been this easy and convenient. You no longer need to be on-site to view important microfilm images for research, operations, or other important functions.


Whether you use Mekel Technology, Wicks and Wilson, or Crowley MACH Mini microfilm scanners, IMAGEhost lets owners of images scanned with QuantumScan or Virtual Scanstation software to view, print, save or send images. You can do this from your office, home, or while you're on the go.


IMAGEhost boosts productivity for both remote and onsite staff while enhancing the value provided to patrons.



Cost-effective microfilm image hosting options

IMAGEhost is available as an on-site software package that easily integrates with your existing IT infrastructure. This integration maximises the time-to-use solution, which means that you can start benefiting from IMAGEhost quickly and without significant delays, making it a convenient and time-efficient choice for your organisation.


This software operates with three main components: access to image repositories, an indexed database, and the IMAGEhost operating program. It makes the most of your initial investment in capturing images by providing secure access to the entire image collection, either publicly or with password protection, for your network, clients, or patrons.



You Scan. You Host. You Save More.

This hybrid method allows owners of Mekel, Wicks and Wilson and Crowley scanners to import their own scans directly into their pre-purchased IMAGEhost software.

  • Flexibility. Offers immediate access to images in their original form across single or multiple rolls of microfilm. Saved images can be edited with multiple features to enhance image quality without affecting the original scan. Once saved, images can be saved to device, electronically exported or printed.
  • Ease of Use. IMAGEhost works at the touch of a screen, the stroke of a keyboard or the click of a mouse utilizing an intuitive interface with simple operational, editing and saving commands.
  • Cost-saving Benefits:

          ○ Initial scanning. Scanning media in its original format eliminates post-processing time and costs while retaining high image quality.

          ○ Web-based hosting. Save the cost of building a complicated in-house IT infrastructure. View technical specifications. 

          ○ Material preservation. As originals are no longer subject to frequent handling, the reduced wear-and-tear can help ensure media integrity and extend shelf life.

          ○ Reduced man-hours. Eliminates the need to manually locate and transport film to a reader-printer. Viewers save time and money with immediate record/image access and easy roll, blip or OCR text searchability.

  • Multi-device Retrieval. Users can access images across multiple devices, including traditional PC’s, laptops, notebooks, tablets and smart phones. An unlimited user license ensures that all records are accessible all the time.
  • Searchable Text (OCR): In addition to traditional play and rewind functions, IMAGEhost offers advanced OCR to make finding images a quick and efficient process.
