The concept is to copy the wiki contents annually to a format that can be used on any standard computer in case of an emergency (i.e. saved as an HTML web-style archive, saved as PDF files, saved as Word files). Another way to put it is that we are looking for a way to export the contents of the wiki into a printer-friendly format - to a document that maintains some organization and formatting and can be used on any standard computer. Is anybody aware of a tool out there that would allow for this sort of automated, multi-page export? Our wiki is large and we would prefer not to do this type of backup one page at a time. We are using JSPwiki, but I'm open to any option you think might work. Could any of the web harvesting products be adapted to do the job? Has anyone else backed up a wiki to an alternate format?

You have received some good suggestions for the latter, let me dwell on the former. I would concur that you should start by scanning in grayscale. You will get a much more "zoomability". You might even increase your scanning density. Then see if you can remove the speckles. Are they on the original? If you use a different scanner, or reposition the microfilm, do the speckles stay consistent? If not, then it's a scanning problem. If they ARE on the original, most image-processing software will have a filter for removing speckles. The filter should be adjustable for sensitivity, so you can avoid removing too much of the original document. The lines probably ARE on the original, a result of running the film through the reader many times. You might find a filter to remove those, but that would be harder to find than one for speckles. Then apply a threshold filter.

This will help legibility. I know that grayscale will make larger files. If that is a problem, then still scan in grayscale, then try to do some image clean up like adjusting levels across all files or all files with a certain set of parameters (maybe like http://journal.code4lib.org/articles/5385 ) , then convert to black and white or otherwise optimize. By the way, as I'm sure you already know, digitizing microfilm results in much poorer image quality than does digitizing paper. If you start with a bad image, you can only do so much. If you start with a good image, and then decide to loose quality by optimizing, then you have a full range of choices in that tradeoff. If you have the option to digitize paper, you are probably better off putting labor or outsourcing costs into handling paper for a clean initial scan, rather than putting labor costs into handling and processing digital files to compensate for a poor initial scan.
