| dc.description | This survey studied reappraisal and deaccessioning in archival repositories in the United States and Canada. See the README file in this record for a complete description of the files in this dataset.Note: The survey questions from both surveys are being made available in both text and PDF formats, as the PDF provides the same questions as the text file, but with formatting that makes them easier to read. Raw data was exported directly from the survey platform, Qualtrics. The principle investigators removed in both sets of raw data IP addresses, location latitude and longitude information, names, emails, and other contact information, and other identifying information to maintain anonymity of survey participants. They also deleted empty (blank) columns (for example, recipient email address) for improved formatting. If respondents included information that might have identified them in open-ended comments, the principle investigators removed only this information, placing [REDACTED FOR ANONYMITY] in its place, in order to preserve as much of the original comment as possible. | en_US |
| dc.description.abstract | The objectives for this study were multifold: To learn how repositories conduct reappraisal and deaccessioning, including the processes involved; To learn how common these practices are and which types of repositories reappraise or deaccession, and which do not; To better understand how the archives profession perceives reappraisal and deaccessioning; To learn why repositories reappraise or deaccession and why they do not; To better understand effects on donor relations.Additionally, the survey sought to generate quantitative data about transparency regarding deaccessioning decisions and disposition of deaccessioned materials. The survey asked about the existence of institutional reappraisal and deaccessioning policies; the impact of the Society of American Archivists (SAA) Guidelines, approved by SAA in 2012, and whether the existence of these guidelines has created an uptick in the practices of reappraisal and deaccessioning; and benefits and negative effects of reappraising and deaccessioning. | en_US |
