Abstract
To build and ensure that our collections will be available for successive generations requires the Library of Congress to identify and acquire those formats which are suitable for preservation and long-term access. To this end the Library has created and issued its Recommended Format Specifications to inform staff and external stakeholders on the physical and technical characteristics of creative works which encourage preservation and long-term access.
