The bibliographic search terms related to conceptualize microfilming, emphasizing that the microfilm is important to prevent the accumulation of paper and loss of information. The most appropriate methodology for this study was defined as the observation, with site visits and, the development of a research instrument in this case, a questionnaire with closed and open questions in the standard manner. Through the questionnaire, made clear the need for a Term Disposal, being discarded documents without any control, and also a File System. Furthermore, the need to conserve and properly packaged these microfilms to be undamaged. This research were presented the procedures adopted during the microfilming process, from selection of documents to be microfilmed to storage, highlighting also the comparison between the hybrid system and microfilming exposing the legality of the two systems, their advantages and disadvantages. The Hybrid System has emerged as the solution to streamline access to documents in the departments via the network in order to preserve permanent records, with microfilm acquired through electronic digital imaging. However, it is concluded that only with the deployment of a File System will enable the total management of all files in all media.
