Converting microfilm, microfiche, to digital data is a huge business. Not sure what format the Pontiac data is in, but rolls are usually priced per roll .. $20-40. Typical roll has 2400 records so from about 1 cent per record to 1.6 cents per record. And the machines that do it are quite fast.
Microfiche holds about 100 records per sheet .. I assume the prices and speed are about the same.
Cost can increase if OCR is required, or there is some unusual requirements. But cost would probably never rise above 3 cents per record I wouldn't think.
So perhaps from as low as $8,500 per million records to $30,000 per million records.
