About the Survey:

The digital preservation community survey in December 2014 - January 2015. The goal of the survey was to assess the current state-of-the-art in digital preservation and identify adoption of digital preservation tools and approaches. It followed on from the OPF  member survey carried out in October 2014 to build an evidence base about OPF members, and steer the annual plan. Selected information from the members responses have also been included in the results.
