Hello everyone, I wanted to share this survey from the Society of American Archivists' Architectural Records Roundtable CAD/BIM Taskforce. If you are working with born-digital design records of any kind, we would love to hear from you. Best wishes, Sam Winn ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Emily Vigor <[log in to unmask]> <[log in to unmask]> Date: Wed, Mar 16, 2016 at 1:01 PM Subject: [arr] Born-Digital Design Records Survey To: SAA Architectural Records Roundtable Discussion List < [log in to unmask]> Hello all, The ARR CAD/BIM Taskforce is pleased to announce that our survey exploring the creation of born-digital design records is now open. Please share the text and survey link below with archivists, records managers, or others who work to preserve born-digital design records. Cheers, Aliza Leventhal Emily Vigor ARR Co-Chairs ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Society of American Archivists’ Architectural Records Roundtable <http://www2.archivists.org/groups/architectural-records-roundtable> is surveying repositories and organizations about their born-digital architectural holdings to determine what file formats institutions have and their current efforts to preserve them. The geographical focus will be on US/North America and the UK respectively. This survey will be a resource for archivists handling born-digital design records to better understand the various types of software used to create these records. The results of the survey will provide insight into the software used, the file formats created, and the ways these records are being preserved and made accessible to researchers. By participating in this survey, you are agreeing to allow your responses to be included in the shared results. Survey results will be shared publicly both online and at the Society of American Archivists annual conference in Atlanta, GA (August 2016). We hope that responses received here will help provide insight into the steps needed to ensure the preservation of these records. Thank you for your participation.
