Greetings!

The 2023 NDSA Storage Infrastructure Survey Working Group is pleased to
announce that the 2023 Storage Survey
<https://uark.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2fUJ73aqcHVYnno> is live!  This
survey seeks to gather and share information on practices that impact
digital preservation storage across a wide variety of institutions.  We
invite--and encourage--your participation.

You may find the survey here:
https://uark.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2fUJ73aqcHVYnno.

This is the fourth iteration of the survey, the goal of which is not only
to collect updated data for comparison with the 2011
<https://hdl.handle.net/1902.1/19768>, 2013
<https://doi.org/10.7910/DVN/8NYC97>, and 2019 <https://osf.io/uwsg7/>
surveys, but to gather information on how new technologies and standards
have impacted preservation storage. The information gathered through the
previous three surveys has been an invaluable resource, helping those
involved in digital preservation programs understand how preservation
storage is changing and developing.  As with the prior surveys, the
aggregated results of the survey will be openly available.

The survey will run from October 24 through November 22. If you are
involved in digital preservation work at your institution, please consider
completing the survey; or if you think there is someone at your institution
who can, please share it with them. We welcome responses from all types of
organizations engaging in storage of digital content; you do not need to be
an NDSA member to respond. This survey will take approximately 30 minutes
and will provide invaluable updated information on how practitioners are
approaching digital storage infrastructure. To assist with completing the
survey all of the survey questions can be viewed in advance by following
