Re: Survey Results for "What is an archivist?"
The statistics I found most interesting were the following two:
""
9. I believe that the various professional archives associations...promote
awareness of the profession
Strongly agree 2 1%
Agree 46 21%
Neither Agree/Disagree 65 29%
Disagree 101 45%
Strongly Disagree 9 4%
Total 223
10. I am a member of the Academy of Certified Archivists
Yes 37 17%
No 185 83%
Total 222
""
These seem to indicate a surprisingly low level of confidence in the ability
of archival professional groups to promote our interests, and a low level of
participation in ACA certification.
