We are pleased to announce the release of the FY2013 Preservation
Statistics Survey Report:

    <URL:http://www.ala.org/alcts/sites/ala.org.alcts/files/content/resources/preserv/presstats/FY2013PreservationStatistics.pdf>

Forty institutions responded to the FY2013 Preservation Statistics
Survey; their data allowed analysis of preservation activities for
fiscal year 2013 (as defined by the respondent's institution) and
facilitated the evaluation of trends in preservation administration,
conservation, reformatting / digitization, and digital preservation
activities.  In addition to the Report, the FY2013 Survey data set
is also available for download.

The Preservation Statistics Survey is a project to document and
analyze the preservation activities of cultural heritage
institutions in the United States.  The Preservation Statistics
Survey is an effort coordinated by the Preservation and Reformatting
Section (PARS) of the American Library Association (ALA) and the
Association of Library Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS).

In anticipation of the FY2014 Preservation Statistics Survey, which
will open in January 2015 and be significantly shortened to include
only production-based data (administrative and budgetary data will
be collected approximately every three years), view a preview of the
questionnaire:

long legacy of the ARL Preservation Statistics data is helpful in
program planning, budget requests, other advocacy and research.
