Dear all,
Apologies for cross-posting. I'm a final year student taking the Archives and Records
Management course at UCL. As part of my dissertation I have created a survey asking about
the practice of and attitudes toward Rapid Response collecting in the context of UK
archives.
The survey, which will take no more than 15 minutes to complete, can be completed by
employees within UK archives and will ask about:
- Your understanding of the term Rapid Response collecting
- If and how you have implemented a Rapid Response collections policy
- Your anticipation of the challenges and benefits posed by a Rapid Response collections
policy both in your organisation and the wider UK archival sector.
- How Rapid Response collecting may benefit your audience.
Your taking part in this project will be kept confidential. No personal details are
required for the survey to be submitted, nor will you be asked to share the identity of
the organisation you work for. You will be asked to define the type of archival
organisation you work for by choosing from a list.
When the results of the study are reported, it is possible that we will wish to use quotes
from the survey to support our findings. These quotes will be contextualised with other
information provided in the survey such as length of career or type of archive. Should you
wish to provide more specific information about organisation you work for this will be
redacted from any quotes.
Thank you for your consideration. Should you have any questions or wish to see a more
detailed information sheet, please don’t hesitate to contact me on uczcbry(a)ucl.uk.
