Polarized or unpolarized {gamma}`s in the energy range of a few MeV to many GeV are produced using one of two methods: by Bremstrahlung radiation emitted when electrons strike a target or by Compton scattering of low energy photons from extremely relativistic electrons. Both methods can produce either linearly or circularly polarized {gamma}`s but other characteristics of the {gamma} beams produced by the two methods differ substantially. The characteristics of beams produced by each method, the parameters of facilities using each method, and the expected capabilities of newly proposed facilities are discussed.
