[BCMA] REMINDER: Canadian Collections Care Survey

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

*Hello everyone-*

*Just a reminder to please complete the Collections Care survey by July 20,
2018 to help us all better understand the health of our heritage collection
here in Canada.*


*************************


*Answer the suvey and two lucky winners will receive a $50 Lee Valley
<https://www.leevalley.com/> gift certificate! Those who already
participated are automatically entered in the draw. Only one survey answer
per institution, please.*


The Canadian Association for the Conservation of Cultural Property (CAC)
and the Canadian Association of Professional Conservators (CAPC) invite you
to contribute to a nation-wide survey on heritage collection health in
Canada. The objective of this survey is to collect data that can be used
for advocacy campaigns, fundraising, programming or planning by a variety
of associations and organizations.



Similar to the US Heritage Health Index (2005), which led to many great
initiatives and injection of capital in various collections care projects,
this initiative is needed in Canada to promote awareness of heritage
conservation at local, provincial, and federal levels, and to encourage the
creation of new legislation, policies and funding programs.



*Who should answer this survey:*  Staff from museums, libraries, archives,
art galleries or cultural centres with heritage collections that are
accessible to the public. Only one response per institution please. The
respondent should be familiar with the collection and facilities, and be
able to obtain basic financial and staffing information.



Follow this link to answer the survey: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r
/C9FK7NR. It is 30 questions in length, and should only take 15-30 minutes
to complete – a small time commitment to make an impact! Once you’ve
completed the survey, share a post to Instagram, Facebook or Twitter with
#caringforcanadiancollections. *The survey will close July 20, 2018*, so
don’t miss your chance to be a part of the Canadian Collections Care Survey!



The survey results will be shared later in 2018 on the CAC and CAPC
websites and we will also be sure to post the results through the BCMA
networks.


All the best,

Anissa
