Eugene B. Power founds University Microfilm International ProQuest LLC began as University Microfilm International (UMI), founded by Eugene B. Power in 1938 in Ann Arbor Michigan. Power began the business with the idea of using microform technology to serve the low-demand publishing requirements of the scholarly community. One of UMI’s first areas for content acquisition was doctoral dissertations, which it began microfilming in 1939, publishing the abstracts in Microfilm Abstracts, an annual catalog of the dissertations available for sale from UMI.
