Hello!
Our names are Marcella Lees (Digital Archivist at the Art Institute of Chicago Archives) and Lisa Lawlis (Assistant Archivist at Western University) and we are conducting a study titled "What Are You Letting Go of and Why is That Still a Win? Highlighting Successes in Digital Preservation." The purpose of this study is to identify what parts of best practice in digital preservation are being let go of in pursuit of "good" practice and what metrics are being used to measure success at small to mid-sized institutions across North America.
Our larger goal is that by sharing the results of this study we can empower smaller institutions to dive into digital preservation now rather than waiting for everything to perfect and to celebrate the digital preservation work that is being done currently.
If you are involved with digital preservation or your responsibilities include the stewardship of digital records (either digitized or born digital), we would like to invite you to take part in this survey. You can access the survey here:

The survey is expected to take 5-10 minutes and consists of 10 questions. Your name will not be attached to your responses. The survey will be open until September 30th.
If you need an alternative format or have any questions, please email mlees@artic.edu or llawlis@uwo.ca.
Thank you,
Marcella and Lisa
