Winter survey

The AWE Fund organizing committee has created a second survey to benchmark the impact of COVID-19 on archival workers. Their first survey was issued in July 2020. This second anonymous survey seeks to keep a pulse on the scope and extent of the impact of COVID-19 on archival workers in the United States.

This survey will close on December 31.
