Subject: [pasig-discuss] Call for participation: Survey on Digital Preservation Practices

This call is being distributed widely; you may see this message on more than one list to which you are subscribed.

 

Dear colleagues,

 

The LOCKSS Program at Stanford University is conducting research to assess digital preservation practices, capacity, and needs at memory institutions worldwide. This research expands on a survey conducted in 2019 as part of the IMLS-funded Stepping Stones project, which provided important data about preservation needs in the state of Michigan, and led directly to the creation of the Michigan Digital Preservation Network.

 

Data from this new survey will help identify the geographic regions and communities with the greatest need for new digital preservation services and networks, highlight potential opportunities to build community-owned preservation infrastructure, and complement other assessment projects related to digital preservation, including the NDSA Staffing Survey and DPC-RAM.

All those who work with born-digital and digitized collection materials in any institutional setting are welcome to participate. This survey should take about 15 minutes to complete, and you may preview the questions here.

Please help us spread the word about this project by forwarding this call for participation to regional professional groups you may belong to, and to any practitioners in your professional network who are working with digital collections of any type or size. If you’d like to receive updates on this survey project, email Snowden Becker, LOCKSS Program Community Manager, at snow...@stanford.edu, or join our mailing list here.

 

Thanks in advance for your participation in this survey!
