Hello,
I am a graduate student in the Library Science Program at East Carolina University, and I am conducting a research study to explore collaborations that occur between community archives and traditional archival institutions. State, academic, and museum archives are increasingly interested in collaborating with community archives to help preserve and manage community archives' records. There is evidence that community archives and traditional archival institutions manage, use and relate to archival records differently and these differences may affect the relationship dynamics during the collaborations.
I am inviting anyone who is a staff or volunteer of a community archive in the United States that has worked collaboratively with a state, academic, museum or other traditional archival institution to complete a brief survey asking about your experiences during the collaborative project. You must be 18 years of age or older to participate.
The survey will remain open until an adequate number of responses have been collected. Click here for the survey. Thank you for considering to participate in this study. Please direct any questions about the study to Sarah West (wests08@students.ecu.edu).
