[Nhcoll-l] FW: New Information for HHI 2014

[Bentley, Andrew Charles]

Hi all

SPNHC is an allied partner on this important initiative so let's do our part to publicize this upcoming survey as far and wide as possible.  A number of you will have taken part in the original survey which provided some very important baseline data on the state of collections care in the US.  Now it is time for our community to participate again and provide this information to help assess the needs of US collecting institutions, mark changes in preservation practices, and validate collections care success.

Thanks

Andy

Mr. Bentley,

On behalf of staff at Heritage Preservation, I'd like to formally thank the Society for the Preservation of Natural History Collections for agreeing to serve as an allied partner on the Heritage Health Information 2014 (HHI 2014) survey and for your role as a representative.

We wanted to share a few updates on the project and provide you with some resources that will help you promote and share news about HHI 2014. We would appreciate it if you would pass this information on to those responsible for communicating with your organization's constituents and colleagues.  We need your help in the coming months as we work to build momentum for the survey, alert the field that it's on its way, and illustrate the importance of this national collections care survey. Attached to this email you will find a media kit. It can also be found here: http://www.heritagepreservation.org/HHI/index.html. In it are resources that may help you, help us promote HHI 2014.

We also wanted to share a small change to the survey name with you. You may have noted above that I typed Heritage Health Information and not Heritage Health Index. This was to meet specific requirements of federally-sponsored research and to be more transparent about what HHI 2014 hopes to accomplish. When possible, we've attempted to use the acronym in our materials to help avoid confusion for those who are familiar with the 2004 survey.

Despite the name change, the survey will remain relatively the same. Of course, with the exception of new questions focused on digital collections. Our schedule remains the same; we hope to release the survey this fall and report results in early 2015.

If you feel there are other materials that might help you promote HHI 2014, we'd be happy to create them. Let us know if you have questions and, again, thank you for serving as an allied partner. We look forward to working with you on this critical endeavor.

All the best,
