The Library of Congress is excited to be nearing the release of a new version
of the Recommended Formats Statement. Over the last several months, the team
of experts charged with maintaining, improving and ensuring the accuracy of
the Statement have been engaged in the annual process of examining the
Statement and its content categories, to ensure that it correctly reflects the
technical characteristics for best practices regarding preservation and
long-term access. The team of experts have made considerable changes to this
year's Recommended Formats Statement with expanded content categories and
format preferences. The Library of Congress is once again calling for input as
it looks forward to the upcoming review and revision of the Recommended
Formats Statement
(https://www.loc.gov/preservation/resources/rfs/index-rev.html).
This year marks the sixth anniversary of the first release of the Recommended
Formats Statement and one of the most monumental in recent years. With the
Statement now an established resource within the creative landscape, we are
exploring ways in which we can extend its reach and make it even more useful
for its many stakeholders.  Ensuring that the Statement is both accurate and
useful is dependent on knowing from the stakeholders what needs to be updated
and corrected to reflect current best practices.
The Library of Congress requests that anyone with input, comments or feedback
on any aspect of the Recommended Formats Statement, please share that with us
by August 15, through one of the e-mail contacts listed on the Recommended
Formats Statement website or through the email address listed below.
