Does your organization have a web archiving program? If so, we’d love to hear more about your web archiving work! The 2026 NDSA Web Archiving Survey aims to track the evolution of web archiving programs around the world, and to help us better understand what individuals and institutions are collecting and the kinds of infrastructure needed to support these collecting efforts. The 2026 Survey builds upon surveys previously conducted in 2022, 2017, 2016, 2013, and 2011.

The 2026 Survey is meant to be answered by one individual per organization. You (and your organization) do not need to be a member of the National Digital Stewardship Alliance to answer this survey.

Follow this link to access the survey: https://yalesurvey.ca1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_3PFJE3ieuEGAt0O. It will remain open until Wednesday, June 24, 2026, and should take no more than 15 minutes to complete.

We will make our best effort to protect your individual survey responses so that no one will be able to connect your responses with you or your organization. Any personal information that could identify you or your organization will be removed or changed before survey results are made public. We will combine your responses along with the responses of others and make the aggregated results public in late 2026.
