Resources
The following documents and references are provided as resources for the digitization of both audio-visual and still image digital content. These have been created and compiled to assist practitioners, students and others, both as a discipline as well as a component of digital conversion projects. These items have been produced by the members of FADGI, and more items will be added as they become available.
While no hard cutoff date was used in selecting guidelines, standards and other documents, they have all been reviewed for current relevance. Because referenced documents may change, please refer to the online version of documents rather than print copies, particularly with regard to standards.
Comments and suggestions welcome.
