Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative (FADGI)

The Federal Agencies Digitization Guidelines Initiative (FADGI) is a collaborative effort among U.S. federal agencies to establish best practices for digitizing cultural heritage materials, such as documents, photographs, and videos. It aims to ensure that these digitized collections are of high quality and accessible to the public. FADGI provides standards and guidelines on technical aspects like resolution, color accuracy, and metadata, helping agencies create digital versions that preserve the original materials' integrity and usability. This initiative fosters consistency and enhances the long-term preservation of important historical and cultural resources.
