*Hello Ohio Archivists, With excitement I am writing to update you on the
A*CENSUS II All Archivists Survey, a major nationwide survey of the
archives profession. As you know, SOA is partnering with SAA and Ithaka S+R
on this survey and over 4,000 people have completed the survey so far! The
All Archivists Survey aims to gather information from every archivist and
community memory worker in the US on their demographics, educational
backgrounds, job placements, and salaries, as well as perspectives on key
issues in the field. A*CENSUS II seeks to understand how the knowledge and
skills of archivists and memory workers has evolved since the original
A*CENSUS, conducted 17 years ago. By participating in this survey you are
helping us understand not only how far we’ve come, but where we need and
want to go in the coming years. A*CENSUS II findings will be shared widely
with the profession, and the more people who participate, the stronger the
data and resulting action will be. The survey will take approximately 30
minutes to complete and can be accessed by clicking on the following link:

<https://surveys.ithaka.org/jfe/form/SV_4UfKQtGLT3mf2u2?Source=SOA> Your
responses will be saved automatically, so you may exit and re-enter the
survey as many times as you wish. Your participation is voluntary; all of
your data are anonymous and will be reported in aggregate form only. The
All Archivists Survey is funded by the Institute for Museum and Library
Services <https://www.imls.gov/> and it was collaboratively developed by
the Society of American Archivists <https://www2.archivists.org/>, the
not-for-profit research organization Ithaka S+R <https://sr.ithaka.org/>,
and the A*CENSUS II working group whose members represent diverse sectors
and roles within the archives profession. If you have questions or require
technical assistance, please contact Ithaka S+R by sending an email to
surveys at ithaka.org <surveys at ithaka.org>.Thank you in advance for your
participation!  Your story is our future!Amy Amy RohmillerVice President.
