The Archives Survey 2007 is now open. The Archives Survey 2007 is the
first comprehensive survey of archival holdings and services across
Australia.

The data gathered through the survey will provide evidence of the
success of individual organisations in managing their archives as well
as the many challenges faced. Although no individual responses will be
reported, the aggregated data will be used:

- To advocate for better funding and policy support for archives
everywhere

- To design archival training and support programs to meet the needs of
individual archives

- To identify and monitor trends amongst like organisations.

Email notifications, with links to the online questionnaire form, have
been sent to organisations listed in the Directory of Archives in
Australia and institutional members of the Australian Society of
Archivists Inc.

If your organisation has not received an email notification and you
would like to participate in the survey, please contact Tony Leviston,
Executive Officer, State Records NSW on (02) 8247 8606 or
execofficer at records.nsw.gov.au. 

In appreciation of your time completing the questionnaire, about half an
hour, your name and organisation will be entered into a draw to win over
$300 worth of archival supplies including:

- Pack of 50 Type 1 archive boxes

- Pack of 100 archival manilla folders

- Ream of watermarked A4 archival copy paper

- Pack of 420 multi-sized inert plastic paper clips

- Dusting brush

- 1 polypropylene photo storage album and slipcase

- Pack of 100 polypropylene photo storage pages (choice of format)

- Pair cotton gloves

This prize is kindly donated by Archival Survival
www.archivalsurvival.com.au . Note that respondents from the Australian
Capital Territory (ACT) are not eligible for the prize draw because an
ACT trade promotion lottery permit has not been obtained.

Archives Survey 2007 is sponsored by the Australian Society of
Archivists Inc. (ASA) and Council of Australasian Archives and Records
Authorities CAARA). 

The survey closes Wednesday 28 February 2007.
