The ibml FADGI Reference Guide

Launched in 2007, FADGI is an effort by U.S. federal agencies to articulate a common set of technical guidelines, methods, and practices for archival of digitized and born-digital documents that are of historical and cultural importance. These standards took on a greater sense of urgency with the U. S. government’s initiative to stop the flow of analog materials into the National Archives after 2022, in favor of electronic records.

This reference guide provides an overview of the FADGI standards and their benefits.
