[Heritage] Oregon heritage survey responses sought

[Heritage Info]

You are encouraged to participate in a 2010 Oregon Heritage Survey that
assesses the status of heritage and museums in Oregon, including the
threats they face. The surveys will be compiled and used to provide a
fact-based foundation for statewide planning and advocacy.
 
“Many cultural heritage organizations and sectors are under stress,"
said Oregon Heritage Commission Chair George Kramer of Ashland. “In
order to develop successful strategies that address their needs, we need
to first discover the many challenges they face. We expect that some of
the challenges are nationwide in scope, while others are unique to
Oregon.”
 
Surveys have been developed especially for archives, archaeologists,
certified local governments, historic cemeteries, historic preservation
and museums. The deadline for completing the survey is Feb. 12.

The Commission is recommending that you first take a look at the
printable PDF version of the survey and use it as a worksheet.  When the
worksheet is complete, enter your information in the online survey. You
must finish your online survey in one session; you will not be allowed
to save your answers and return to your session, or to retake the
survey. If you prefer submitting the printed worksheet, you may do
that.
