New Library of Congress Guidelines for Digital Photography Archiving

This entry is part 16 of 30 in the Issue [1] 04

Digital photography archiving [2] guidelines from the US Library of Congress. The guidelines include advice such as

• Use TIFF or PSD as working file formats.

• Use JPEG or TIFF as delivery file formats.

• Use TIFF or PSD as file formats to archive rendered master files.

• Use DNG to archive raw file data.

Their guidance on backup is also good. There is a two page quick guide but the whole site is worth a read.
