The A*CENSUS II All Archivists and Archives Administrators survey datasets are now available in the SAA Dataverse at https://dataverse.unc.edu/dataverse/ACENSUS. These datasets are available to be downloaded, analyzed, and reused by archivists, researchers, and the general public. The All Archivists survey targeted self-identified archivist/archives workers in the U.S. to gather information about their demographics, educational background and needs, job placement and status, and salaries, as well as their perspectives on key issues in the field. The Archives Administrators survey targeted the directors of archival organizations to gather data about institutional characteristics; resources; strategic directions; and equity, inclusion, diversity, and access issues. The second comprehensive Archival Census and Education Needs Survey in the United States (A*CENSUS II) was funded by a grant from the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the surveys were conducted by Ithaka S+R in conjunction with SAA.
If you have any questions, or if you have data that you would like to publish in the SAA Dataverse, please contact the SAA Committee on Research, Data, and Assessment (CORDA) at corda@archivists.org.
