Marisa,

Please see www.UPDIG.org

Universal Photographic Digital Imaging Guidelines

This is an inter-organization initiative of digital photographic agencies 
(ASMP), archivists (SAA), stock houses (Getty Images),  photoresearchers 
(ASPP), camera mfrs (Sinar,Canon), academics (RIT) and software vendors 
(Microsoft,Adobe) who are identifying common basic practices across disciplines.

It's very much a fledgling work-in-progress but there are some very good ideas 
on the public web site. 

I represent MCN to this group and I expect to report back and listen to the MCN 
community at the national meeting in Pasadena.  Hopefully, the digital 
preservation side of UPDIG will be richer by then.

Subject:        Original digital photog standards?

 I'm looking for best practices/ standards for original digital
photography.

 

We have an agency looking to use digital cameras to capture images that
will have a permanent retention period.  Their records officer was
looking for guidance from us as to requirements for permanent digital
photographs (including aerial photography) that may end up in our
Archives.

 

I want to be able to come back to them with camera specifications and
file format specs that will guide their camera purchasing decision and
digital file processing.

 

We currently have scanned image guidelines, but that isn't very helpful
in their case.

 

Any ideas?

 

Thanks,

Marisa
