Resulting from the NDSA:Infrastructure Working Group’s work on NDSA:Qualitative Storage Questions the group decided to survey the membership to see what their practices were. The NDSA Infrastructure Survey, conducted between August 2011 and November 2011, received responses from 58 members of the 74 NDSA member organizations who are preserving digital content. The results of the survey were reported in a series of blog posts on The Signal, the Library of Congress Digital Preservation blog.

Future Suggestions
It would be worth considering re-running the survey in 2 or 3 years to track trends.
