Archivists Survey Report</a> published in August 2022. The Archives Administrators Survey gathered data from the most senior archives leaders and decision makers regardless of the size of the archives, including administrators who oversee large archives organizations,
archives units within broader institutions, and small community archives collections. The report includes data on archives’ budget, and collection sizes, staff recruitment and retention, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, as well as diversity, equity, inclusion,
and accessibility practices.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Seven hundred and forty-six archives administrators representing academic institutions, government agencies, nonprofit organizations, for-profit organizations, and community archives across the United States participated
in this survey. We share the key findings here:<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<ul type="disc">
<li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The large majority (88 percent) of administrators lead an archives department positioned within a larger institution.</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Seventy-one percent of respondents
are archives administrators at nonprofit organizations (36 percent) or academic institutions (35 percent).<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The majority of administrators head archives that have relatively small staff sizes and budgets.</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Nearly two-thirds (63 percent) of administrators
lead departments with three or fewer full-time equivalent (FTE) staff. More than half (59 percent) of administrators have a total annual operating budget (excluding staff compensation) of less than 100k annually.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Archives accession vastly more physical archives each year than they deaccession.</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> On average, archives measuring physical collections by linear
feet accession 100 linear feet of collections and deaccession less than one linear foot per year. Likewise, archives measuring by cubic feet accession 300 cubic feet of physical collections per year, deaccessioning just two cubic feet per year on average.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Over half of archives administrators noted that filling an archival gap of a historically marginalized population or subject is an important consideration for accepting a new archives collection.</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> At
56 percent, this was the third most common consideration after whether the collection fits the collecting scope (91 percent) and whether it is connected to existing collections (78 percent).<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">The most important skills for archivists in the next five years are related to technology and systems.</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> A staggering 81 percent of archives administrators
report that skills related to technology and systems, such as digital asset management and digital preservation, are the most important to the staff in their department in the coming years.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Eighty-one percent of archives administrators say communication skills are valuable in their current position.</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> The ability to build and maintain
strong relationships (61 percent) and the ability to manage change (56 percent) are the next most valuable skills for administrators.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">In response to the financial impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, archives saw budget cuts in operations and staffing more than in other categories, with budgets for staffing the least likely to have recovered.</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Of
archives that experienced staffing budget cuts, 43 percent report that their budget has not recovered at all; in other words, the archives staffing budget is the same today as it was when the cuts were initially made at the start of the pandemic.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Lack of staff is the primary constraint on administrators’ ability to execute strategy (75 percent), even more so than lack of financial resources (63 percent).</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> This
may help explain administrators’ prediction that their departments will increase or maintain the number of staff in their department over the next five years, with very few predicting reductions in workforce. This is true across all staff types (e.g. full
time, part time, contract, volunteer, etc.).<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Archives administrators underestimate the role of burnout in staff departures.</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> Administrators, when asked about voluntary staff departures, reported
limited compensation, retirement, and lack of career advancement as the primary reasons. While administrator responses are aligned with three of the top four reasons for archivists considering leaving the profession, there is a disconnect with burnout. In
the All Archivists Survey, 35 percent of archivists considering leaving cite burnout, making it the second most common cause, while just 10 percent of administrators include burnout as a reason for staff departures in the Archives Administrators Survey.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA) practices and perspectives vary considerably depending on the specific aspect of DEIA in question.</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> For
example, 58 percent of administrators agree that staff members in comparable positions are paid equitably. On the other hand, 48 percent disagree that the senior management in their department is diverse.<o:p></o:p></span></li><li class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto;mso-list:l0 level1 lfo1">
<strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">BIPOC (Black, Indigenous, and People of Color) individuals are underrepresented among archives administrators.</span></strong><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> BIPOC individuals make up just 11
percent of archives administrators, while 88 percent of archives administrators are White.<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">At its heart, A*CENSUS II demonstrates the power of collaboration across the archives profession. This project was made possible through the work of a dedicated project team, working group, and several partner
organizations. The study is funded by the Institution for Museum and Library Services (IMLS) and was jointly developed by the Society of American Archivists, Ithaka S+R, and the A*CENSUS II working group.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">It is our intent that the findings from both A*CENSUS II surveys circulate widely and freely throughout the archives community so that the information can be leveraged to positively impact the profession. To this
end, we hope you will join SAA’s Beth Myers and Ithaka S+R's Makala Skinner for a webinar on <a href="https://nam11.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fattendee.gotowebinar.com%2Fregister%2F4642682779285056345%3Fsource%3Demail&data=05%7C01%7Ccarleton%40ohio.edu%7C10c2f0889e52455ba38908db056f7eca%7Cf3308007477c4a70888934611817c55a%7C0%7C0%7C638109748671029881%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=m%2BbKtknTjpk8OGw7%2FC4vWnb2Vyk2yX4CWKnnNABtjwg%3D&reserved=0" title="https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/4642682779285056345?source=email"><em><b><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Friday,
