Calling all web archivists, it’s that time again! The National Digital Stewardship Alliance is sponsoring a survey of organizations in the United States who are actively involved in or planning to archive content from the web. The survey is the fourth in a longitudinal study to track the evolution of web archiving programs and activity in the United States, focusing on similarities and differences in programmatic approaches, types of content being archived, tools and services being used, access modes being provided, and emerging best practices and challenges. The results of the survey will be reported to NDSA members and summary results will be shared publicly in 2018.

Any United States organization involved in web archiving or in the process of planning a web archive is encouraged to take the survey<https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/B9789RV>. The survey will close November 17, 2017.

Results and observations from the three previous surveys (2011<http://digitalpreservation.gov/ndsa/working_groups/documents/ndsa_web_archiving_survey_report_2012.pdf?loclr=blogsig>, 2013<http://ndsa.org/documents/NDSA_USWebArchivingSurvey_2013.pdf>, 2016<http://ndsa.org/documents/WebArchivingintheUnitedStates_A2016Survey.pdf>) are available.

Thank you,
