that the work associated with
digitization projects rarely concludes
when the last scanned file is posted to
a public site. The maintenance of digital
projects requires an ongoing investment
of both financial and human resources;
not only must servers be supported and
user queries answered, but rapid
advances in technology are changing
user expectations about how they want
to discover, interact with, and share
digital content. These changes are
creating complicated new challenges for
libraries, archives, and other institutions
that wish to digitize and make available
their local special and archival
collections.
The project will consist of two parts:
first, a survey asking representatives
from a range of institutions to document
existing practices and attitudes toward
sustaining digitized special collections,
and second, a series of case studies on
innovative models for managing and
sustaining digitized special collections
(to be released in Spring 2012). This
study will promote the spread of
knowledge about library and museum
experiments and initiatives to support
digital projects, enabling both the
leaders of current and future digital
projects to develop more robust
sustainability plans and also the funders
and institutional administrators who
support these projects to understand the
factors and variables that help point
towards success. This survey will
attempt to gather data from a broad and
representative range of cultural heritage
organizations across the United States.
This survey is intended for libraries,
archives, museums, and other cultural
heritage organizations that have
digitized some portion of their special
collections or have arranged to have
their special collections digitized by a
third party. Please do not hesitate to
contact the authors of the survey (see
contact information below) if you are
unsure whether the survey applies to
your organization.
The survey is being distributed to
leaders of libraries or other institutions
that are: Recipients of IMLS funds for
digitization projects from 1997 to the
present, (through National Leadership
Grants or via other routes such as LSTA
funding) or Members of the Association
of Research Libraries.
Agency: Institute of Museum and
Library Services.
Title: Sustaining Digitized Special
Collections and Archives Survey.
OMB Number: To be determined.
Agency Number: 3137.
Frequency: One-time survey.
Affected Public: Libraries, archives,
museums, and other cultural heritage
organizations.

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The
Institute of Museum and Library
Services (IMLS) is an independent
Federal grant-making agency and is the
primary source of federal support for the
Nation’s 123,000 libraries and 17,500
museums. IMLS provides a variety of
grant programs to assist the Nation’s
museums and libraries in improving
their operations and enhancing their
services to the public. IMLS conducts
policy research, analysis, and data
collection to extend and improve the
Nation’s museum, library, and
information services. The policy
research, analysis, and data collection is
used to: Identify national needs for and
trends in museum, library, and
information services; measure and
report on the impact and effectiveness
of museum, library, and information
services throughout the United States;
identify best practices; and develop
plans to improve museum, library, and
information services of the United
States and strengthen national, State,
local, regional, and international
communications and cooperative
networks. (20 U.S.C. Chapter 72, 20
U.S.C. 9108).
Abstract: This national survey of
reference service providers in public
and academic libraries is intended to
help the IMLS Digital Collections and

History is a publicly available registry
and repository of digital cultural
heritage collections, expanded from a
strong base of collections digitized
through IMLS support. Approximately
