fiche
Flat archival film
A fiche is a sheet of microfilm containing miniaturized images of documents, typically arranged in a grid pattern.
Short for microfiche, it was a standard format for archiving newspapers, catalogs, and records before digital storage: The library keeps old periodicals on fiche.
The technology is now largely obsolete but persists in some archives.
