> The Image Permanence Institute (IPI) is looking for additional

> The survey touches on a broad range of activities - from collections care

> respondents select which sections to respond to as well as opt out of
> sections that do not pertain to their experience.
>
> The survey will take approximately 10-30 minutes to complete (depending on
> the number of sections responded to) and the deadline for responses has
