Creation and use of digital collections is a core characteristic of 21st
century behaviour. The Arts and Humanities Data Service promotes the
development, preservation and use of such collections, some of which have
become key resources in arts and humanities scholarship. In the area of
performing arts however, digital collections development seems to have
lingered behind, despite the flourishing and innovative performing arts
communities that exist both in and out of higher education.

AHDS Performing Arts is working towards developing a greater understanding
of how the higher education community uses digital resources and how we can
offer new opportunities for research in music, theatre, dance, film,
television, and radio. To do this, we need your help to inform our scoping
study which will determine the development of AHDS Performing Arts. Please
take five minutes of your time to fill in this short questionnaire:
http://www.ahds.ac.uk/performingarts/survey.htm 

The results will help to shape the future of digital resource development
and preservation in the performing arts and will also be made available to
the Arts and Humanities Research Council.
