About the Survey
The Coalition for Canadian Digital Heritage (CCDH) is conducting a national research survey to better understand digitization capacity across Canadian Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums (GLAM). While digitization has become central to access, preservation, and outreach, Canada lacks up-to-date, sector-wide data. This study will provide a comprehensive up-to-date benchmark.
Staff in Canadian GLAM institutions who are (or would be) involved in their organization’s digitization activities – whether planning, operations, preservation, or access. Responses may be completed by an individual or on behalf of an institution.
· Format: One-time, anonymous Qualtrics survey.
· Length: 20–25 minutes
· Data Use: Responses will be anonymized, stored securely, and reported only in aggregate.
By participating in this survey, you help:
· Contribute to a national picture of digitization readiness.
· Inform future funding, training, and infrastructure development.
· Gain insight into cross-sector challenges and opportunities.
· Shape the future of Canadian digital heritage strategies.
Approved by the University of Calgary Conjoint Faculties Research Ethics Board (REB25-1225). No personally identifying data will be included in reports without explicit consent.
The survey will open February 10 – April 3, 2026 with results shared May – September 2026 through reports, presentations, and community of practice opportunities.
