Inviting responses The survey was open to responses between 8 January 2024 and 15 March 2024, to give people an appropriate amount of time to respond.
Visitor numbers While respondents reported that their archives were open most weeks of the year, they were only open for 21 to 22 hours a week on average, the equivalent of three days out of seven.
Unlisted collections While Learned Societies appear to have an average of 3.
Qualifications in the sector We know that archives often have a small number of staff and the survey confirmed this, with the majority of respondents saying they only had the full-time equivalent of zero to two members of staff.
