UK National Archives to Accept Phone Video as Permanent Record
Original: The National Archives Will Take Phone Video as a Permanent Record. Its List Names the Codec, Not the File Extension # an
The National Archives will accept video shot on mobile phones as a permanent historical record. Its published guidance specifies accepted codecs rather than file extensions, reflecting how formats like MP4 come in many variants and that the underlying codec is what determines long-term preservation quality. The move formalises a shift toward everyday smartphone footage as an archival standard.
Why now: Archivists and developers are discussing the technical implications of codec-based specifications for preserving phone video.
