nestor, the German Network of Expertise in Digital Preservation, has launched the iteration of its Community Survey today.

Over the past several years, numerous digital preservation communities and networks have evolved all over the world. While some cover all aspects of digital preservation, other focus on specific aspects of digital preservation or may deal with several other aspects. It has become an interesting but often hard to navigate landscape.

To help make this landscape more visible and transparent, the "Community Survey" working group of nestor launched the Community Survey several years ago. The survey provides a structured overview of networks active in the field and is repeated every three years to reflect ongoing developments.
