A digital-only publication which is currently occasional in frequency although during 2021 we hope to become quarterly and then bi-monthly. ACPi means 'Archiving Conservation & Preservation international'. We cover a broad remit within those sectors but focus mainly on the assessment, capture and archiving of collections, printed ephemera and art.
The wholly digital format allows more flexibility and in-depth articles than print. With amazing functionality available on our publishing partners reading web site (www.issuu.com/intelligenpublishing) we hope to bring a lot to readers from all walks of life and at all levels.

The late Jerome F. (Jerry) Crowley, Jr. started the privately-owned firm in 1980 under the name of J. F. Crowley, Inc.
Representing manufacturers in the photographic, graphic arts and micrographic industries, Jerry was successful in hardware and software sales but chaffed against the downtime his equipment spent on the display floor. He decided to put the machines to work when not in demonstration and in 1986, changed the firm name to Crowley Micrographics, with offerings of both hardware/software sales and document conversion services to commercial clients and to federal, state and local governments.
Within a few years, sons Christopher (Chris) and Patrick (Pat) Crowley joined the family business. As the company grew, it continued to diversify with a concentration in the areas of document conversion, reformatting and digital imaging services as a complement to the company’s strong position as a leading provider of document reformatting solutions (hardware/software).

In 1959, a paper broker named Tom Anderson Sr. saw the way companies were storing important data on microfilm, and thought he had a better idea. Paper brokers had all kinds of different clients, and one day at a convention, a rival broker bragged that the 3M Company was using his paper for storing microfilm.
At that time, microfilm was stored using aperture cards – paper cards with space on one side for punch codes to be used in computer sorting, and an opening on the other side for the microfilm itself. But the early cards were simply paper with a hole cut out, leaving the microfilm unprotected and frequently damaged. Anderson saw a pack of cigarettes laying on the table, took off the cellophane wrapper, and used it to cover up the microfilm opening. He had just invented the “suspension-style” aperture card, and the Microseal Corporation was born.
