CASO FADGI Scanning Services
Preserving records in their highest quality and maintaining compliance across government agencies.
Achieve Compliance with FADGI Standards for Modern Textual Records (MTR)
​
With the federal mandate that all files submitted to the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA) be digital, compliance with the Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative (FADGI) is now more critical than ever. As of July 1, 2024, all materials sent to NARA and the Library of Congress must meet FADGI guidelines, and the requirement is expected to extend to all federal agencies. CASO is here to help you navigate these standards with our expert FADGI-compliant digitization services.
What is FADGI?
FADGI (Federal Agencies Digital Guidelines Initiative) sets quality standards for digital files to ensure they are suitable for permanent archiving. These FADGI standards are essential for preserving records in their highest quality and maintaining compliance across government agencies.

Understanding the FADGI Star Ratings
FADGI’s star rating system for image quality ensures that scanned documents meet specific standards:
- One Star: Minimal compliance, suitable for basic digitization needs.
- Two Star: Satisfactory quality for standard projects but may not meet OCR standards.
- Three Star: High-quality, accurate images ideal for archiving and OCR. MTR guidelines are similar to this standard but with slight adjustments for modern documents.
