Disregard if you have no interest in preserving your architectural heritage
through preserving architectural records. Please excuse any cross

*** 3-question, 5-minute survey - DEADLINE MARCH 9, 2003 **
COPAR (Cooperative Preservation of Architectural Records) was formed in 1973
as an effort to preserve architectural records by sharing management
expertise and to survey and share existing holdings.
I am conducting research for a report that will be presented at the Art
Libraries Society/North America (ARLIS/NA) 2003 Annual Conference in a session
entitled "Thirty Years After: COPAR and Other Endeavors Toward Preserving
Architectural Records." This session will review the history of COPAR and
the status of national and regional efforts to document architectural
records.
The following 3-question survey addresses COPAR awareness. The resulting
report will be posted on the TxCOPAR website at:
http://www.lib.utexas.edu/apl/aaa/txcopar.html

Please take a moment to respond:
1) Are you aware of COPAR (Cooperative Preservation of Architectural Records)?
2) Are you a member of a state COPAR committee? If so, which one?
3) If not via COPAR, how do you find information on managing architectural
records or finding architectural records?
