Greetings Fellow PRODIG Photographers,
With the permission of the list serv mum I am posting an invitation to participate in an online survey questionnaire.
The following paragraph explains the importance of the survey and gives the background of the researchers and the larger project.
As a photographer and a studying archivist - I believe the questionnaire is a great importance to both communities and urge everyone to take a few minutes to participate.
Sincerely, Jessica Bushey
An Invitation to Photographers creating Digital Images to Participate in an Online Questionnaire Survey on the Record Keeping Practices of Photographers using Digital Technology.
Participants will assist the artistic and archival community in understanding the longterm preservation needs of digital images by answering questions related to routine work habits, software and hardware choices and storage options. The survey is part of a larger project titled InterPARES which is a multidisciplinary project headed by the University of British Columbia, that investigates issues surrounding the continuing reliability, accuracy, authenticity, accessibility and the long-term preservation of digital entities produced in the course of artistic, scientific and e-government activities because of technological frailty, incompatibility and obsolescence.
The multiple choice Questionnaire is accessible online, and takes approximately 20 minutes to complete. Your participation will contribute to a greater understanding of the complex needs associated with creating, storing and retrieving digital images. Additionally the information will assist Archives obtaining these digital images twenty years from now.
