The National Archives does not stipulate which file formats you should use for the creation of public records. This decision must be made on the basis of your own business requirements; however, we strongly recommend that requirements for sustaining access to your records are considered as an integral part of evaluating file formats for use in your organisation. If you have selected digital records for transfer to The National Archives that are not in a format we can currently accept, please talk to us before you take any other action (see section 4 below for a discussion of the available options).The sheer number of different formats in existence makes it economically unsustainable for The National Archives to commit to managing and maintaining access to all formats in perpetuity. While the individual bytes of a digital file can be preserved relatively easily, the ability to access and understand the information contained in those bytes will be lost if the required software and technical environment are no longer available. The challenge increases where the file format specification is not available – either because it is proprietary or was never formally defined.

The level of resource that would be needed to provide long-term access to an ever-expanding list of file formats prohibits this being a viable option. The only reasonable alternative is for The National Archives to limit the range of formats we can accept and maintain. This strategy enables us to continue to deliver our core task of providing access to the digital public record, whilst operating within our budgetary constraints.
The National Archives has identified a list of file formats that are currently within our technical and budgetary capacity to receive, maintain and make available. When using this list to inform your choice of file formats for use in your organisation, you should note the following:
