By June 1938, Power worked in two rented rooms from a downtown Ann Arbor funeral parlor, specializing in microphotography to preserve library collections. In his autobiography <i>Edition of One</i>, Power details the development of the company, including how University Microfilms assisted the <a href="/facts/Office_of_Strategic_Services/5dHfvPFc">Office of Strategic Services</a> (OSS) intelligence agency during <a href="/facts/World_War_II/2efV5L1U">World War II</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:23" href="#fn:23"><sup>23</sup></a> This work mainly involved filming maps and European newspapers so they could be shipped back and forth overseas more cheaply and discreetly. </p><p>Power also noticed a <a href="/facts/Niche_market/qEJCErW8">niche market</a> in <a href="/facts/Dissertation/dYnTaYqQ">dissertations</a> publishing. Students were often forced to publish their own works in order to finish their <a href="/facts/Doctoral_degree/hb3AGQ6A">doctoral degree</a>. Dissertations could be published more cheaply as microfilm than as books. ProQuest still publishes so many dissertations that its <a href="/facts/ProQuest_Dissertations_and_Theses/V41TKWrd">Dissertations and Theses</a> collection (formerly called Digital Dissertations) has been declared the official U.S. off-site repository of the <a href="/facts/Library_of_Congress/TfB6dEN5">Library of Congress</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:24" href="#fn:24"><sup>24</sup></a> </p><p>The idea of universal adoption of microfilm publication of doctoral dissertations was furthered considerably by two articles researched and written by a then recent recipient of the doctorate in history at <a href="/facts/Stanford_University/JEQeF9z2">Stanford University</a>. Vaughn Davis Bornet seized on the idea and published "Doctoral Dissertations and the Stream of Scholarship"<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:25" href="#fn:25"><sup>25</sup></a> and "Microfilm Publication of Doctoral Dissertations".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:26" href="#fn:26"><sup>26</sup></a> </p><p>As the dissertations market grew, the company expanded into filming newspapers and <a href="/facts/Periodical/1Ep96WIt">periodicals</a>. The company's main newspaper database is ProQuest Newsstand. </p> <h3>1960s–1990s</h3> <p>In 1962, <a href="/facts/Xerox/qyxVVqaa">Xerox</a> acquired the company for 51,750 shares of Xerox common stock, worth about $7.9 million.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:27" href="#fn:27"><sup>27</sup></a> Under Xerox's ownership, the name of the company changed several times, from University Microfilms to Xerox University Microfilms, to University Microfilms International, then shortened to UMI. In 1985, it was purchased from Xerox by <a href="/facts/Bell_%26_Howell/LDjDqQTh">Bell & Howell</a>.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:28" href="#fn:28"><sup>28</sup></a> In 1986, UMI acquired Data Courier, owner of ABI/INFORM, from the <a href="/facts/Barry_Bingham_Jr./IPSEG1Je">Bingham</a> family.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:29" href="#fn:29"><sup>29</sup></a> </p><p>In the 1980s, UMI began producing <a href="/facts/CD-ROM/JwuaYLJv">CD-ROMs</a> that stored <a href="/facts/Bibliographic_database/j4417rG4">databases</a> of periodicals abstracts and indexes. At a time when modem connections were slow and expensive, it was more efficient to mail database CD-ROMs regularly to subscribing libraries, who installed the discs on dedicated PCs. The ProQuest brand name was first used for databases on CD-ROM. An online service called ProQuest Direct was launched in 1995; its name was later shortened to just ProQuest.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:30" href="#fn:30"><sup>30</sup></a> The bibliographic databases are mainly sold to schools, universities and libraries. </p><p>In 1998, the company announced the "Digital Vault Initiative", purported to include 5.5 billion images digitized from UMI microfilm, including some of the best existing copies of major newspapers dating back 100 to 150 years, and Early English books dating back to the 15th century. While work continues to digitize the contents of the microfilm vault, ProQuest is already providing navigation of 125 billion digital pages, including nearly 20 million pages of newspaper content dating from pre-Revolutionary War America. </p><p>In 1999, the company name changed to Bell & Howell Information and Learning, and then in 2001 to ProQuest Information and Learning; Bell & Howell renamed itself the ProQuest Company.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:31" href="#fn:31"><sup>31</sup></a> </p><p>Also in 1999, the company acquired Chadwyck-Healey, a one-time microfilm publishing company that was one of the first to produce full-text CD-ROM databases. This acquisition gave Proquest ownership of a 100+ person publishing operation based in <a href="/facts/Cambridge/gNRdbmwK">Cambridge</a>, England, and became the basis for a substantial overseas expansion. </p> <h3>2000s</h3> <p>During the 2000–2004 fiscal years, as well as the first three quarters of the 2005 fiscal year, ProQuest systematically overstated its net income. Cumulatively, pre-tax profits were overstated by 129.9 million dollars (or about 31 percent).<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:32" href="#fn:32"><sup>32</sup></a> In 2008, Voyager Learning Company and ProQuest's CFO (from the time of the earnings overstatements) settled SEC "charges without admitting or denying the allegations of the SEC's complaint".<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:33" href="#fn:33"><sup>33</sup></a> </p><p>In 2001 ProQuest acquired Norman Ross Publishing, a small New York based microfilm publisher.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:34" href="#fn:34"><sup>34</sup></a> </p><p>In 2002 ProQuest acquired bigchalk.com, a company founded in 1999 with the combined assets of ProQuest's K-12 division and Infonautics Inc.'s K-12 business.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:35" href="#fn:35"><sup>35</sup></a>[<i>dead link</i>] </p><p>In 2004, ProQuest Information and Learning acquired Seattle start-up <a href="/facts/Serials_Solutions/3rqnAEKd">Serials Solutions</a>, a venture providing access management and search services for content hosted by other companies. </p><p>Also in 2004, the company acquired Copley Publishing Group.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:36" href="#fn:36"><sup>36</sup></a> </p><p>In 2005, three ProQuest executives formed a distribution company called National Archive Publishing Co, of XanEdu, UMI, and Digital Service Operations.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:37" href="#fn:37"><sup>37</sup></a> The building that would house this new company stood at 300 Zeeb Road in <a href="/facts/Scio,_Michigan/JeH5uHL7">Scio, Michigan</a>, home to nearly 6 billion pages of information.<a class="footnote-ref" id="fnref:38" href="#fn:38"><sup>38</sup></a> </p><p>In 2006, ProQuest Company, then the parent company of ProQuest Information and Learning, sold it to <a href="/facts/Cambridge_Information_Group/XheSdAlt">Cambridge Information Group</a>, owner of <a href="/facts/R._R._Bowker/lyzGxDNA">R.
