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
snowdenb@stanford.edu, or join our mailing list
here.
Thanks in advance for your participation in this survey!
