Fun fact about microfiche:
One of the first uses of it was due to pigeons.

During the Franco-Prussian war of 1870-1871, Paris was under siege and they got dispaches out by using microphotography to make them small enough that they could be attached to pigeons and flown out of the city.

@foone Don't you mean microfilm? The only microfiche I've ever seen/worked with were larger than a pigeon.

I loved randomly perusing microfiche and microfilm as a kid in the university library back in the day. :D

I've used a lot of weird media formats over the years but "we have to make the mail small enough that pigeons can carry it" is a unique reason for being invented
