Survey on preservation statistics

Count what you do and show preservation counts.  The FY2014
Preservation Statistics Survey, a project to document and analyze
the preservation activities of cultural heritage institutions in the
United States, is now open.  Any library or archives in the United
States conducting preservation activities is encouraged to
participate in this survey, which will be open from Tuesday, January
20, 2015 through Friday, February 27, 2015.

FY2014 Survey questions focus on production-based preservation
activities, documenting your institution's conservation treatment,
general preservation activities, preservation reformatting and
digitization, and digital preservation and digital asset management
activities.

The goal of the Preservation Statistics Survey, now in its third
year, is to document the state of preservation activities in this
digital era via quantitative data that facilitates peer comparison
and tracking changes in the preservation and conservation fields
over time.  The Survey, a project of the Preservation and
Reformatting Section (PARS) of the Association of Library
Collections and Technical Services (ALCTS), is based on the
Preservation Statistics survey program coordinated by the
Association of Research Libraries (ARL) from 1984 through 2008.

Why should your institution participate in the FY2014 Preservation
Statistics Survey?

    The FY2014 Survey is significantly shorter than previous years,
    asking only for production data--information you already have
    for annual reporting or other internal planning and evaluation

    Preservation Statistics data helps you and the wider
    preservation community advocate for preservation programming and
    activities, demonstrating how programs compare to peers as well
    as areas of strength and need

    Your participation can help us achieve a representative body of
    preservation programs, which means better analysis and
    examination of trends in preservation programming.  To continue
    the Preservation Statistics Project, we need seventy-five
    institutions to respond to this FY14 survey

Participate today.  Count what you do and show preservation counts
