Dear colleague, This is a general call to all collections holding organisations to ask you to help us by participating in this survey, a follow-up of the successful ENUMERATE Core Surveys of 2012 and 2013. The survey will gather data about: * Digitisation activity * The cost of digital collections * Access to digital collections * The preservation of digital heritage materials The survey is organised by ENUMERATE as part of Europeana. It will be distributed among thousands of institutions across Europe, whether or not already contributing to Europeana. Together we can make the case for investments in our digital activities! We hope that you will be able to complete the survey as soon as you can. You can access the survey on http://www.enumerate.onderzoek.nl Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need more information about the questions or the survey in general. What you get in return for participating in the survey is the option to compare some indicators for your institution with aggregated data obtained from institutions in your country and the EU as a whole. An example of this can be tested at the ENUMERATE Data Platform: http://enumeratedataplatform.digibis.com/datasets Data collected will be kept strictly anonymous and the information that you share with us will not be published in a way that is traceable to your institution. Since this ENUMERATE Core Survey is widely announced through various channels amongst the European memory institutions and in order to avoid possible duplication of work, we suggest that responding to the survey be communicated with the institutional director. The ideal respondent has generic knowledge about your institutions' digital collections. If you are not the most suitable person to fill out the questionnaire, please help us and hand it over to this person. We thank you in advance for your kind attention and participation, Kind Regards, Gordon. -------------------------------------------------------------------- Gordon McKenna Projects and Programmes Manager [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> Tel: +44 (0)20 7942 6082 (direct) Visit our websites: www.collectionstrust.org.uk<http://www.collectionstrust.org.uk/> www.culturegrid.org.uk<http://www.culturegrid.org.uk/> Follow us on Twitter<http://www.twitter.com/collectiontrust> Join Collection Trust's Collections Management Group<http://www.linkedin.com/groupItem?view=&gid=3280471&type=member&item=127734931&qid=f3e77705-7ec2-44c7-99db-7fe325bb16fc&trk=group_most_recent_rich-0-b-ttl&goback=%2Egmr_3280471> Like us on Facebook<https://www.facebook.com/hiddentreasuresuk?ref=hl> Company Registration No: 1300565 Registered Charity No: 273984 Registered Office: Collections Trust, WC2 09, Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD.
