Greetings!



The 2023 NDSA Storage Infrastructure Survey Working Group is pleased to announce that the 2023 Storage Survey<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://uark.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_2fUJ73aqcHVYnno__;!!KGKeukY!wSyRleHyhUWj4itVj5Z6JfeDg43orkpeBVZeHc3s1HS8T3vQ-w49wCHtR9-uotHkugmF3bVk3cTumY4K$> 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.

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 the link to this Google https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AWhwvMzs_MiZb7Ot7iFOxipNfCcBAnQ-/view?usp=share_link<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https://drive.google.com/file/d/1AWhwvMzs_MiZb7Ot7iFOxipNfCcBAnQ-/view?usp=share_link__;!!KGKeukY!wSyRleHyhUWj4itVj5Z6JfeDg43orkpeBVZeHc3s1HS8T3vQ-w49wCHtR9-uotHkugmF3bVk3QRNzO2y$>
