COVID-19 Impact to Heritage Organizations - Survey #1 Results & Survey #2 OPEN

The Oregon Heritage Commission is trying to assess the impact over time that COVID-19 has had specifically on heritage organizations. As national and local funding decisions are being made for recovery efforts, we want to make sure that we have data available so that heritage is represented in any future recovery efforts, funding, and decision-making.

Three surveys over the course of the year will determine the impact from March 2020-June 2021:


  *   Survey #1 opened in Nov. 2020 to gather information from March 2020-Oct. 2020 - Summary of results<https://www.oregon.gov/oprd/OH/Documents/COVID_survey1_results.pdf>
  *   Survey #2 open now to gather information from Nov. 2020-Feb. 2021 - OPEN NOW!<https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/f274482c6cf44e299ba02f72f0e8efed>
  *   Survey #3 will open in July 2021 to gather information from March 2021-June 2021

If I took Survey #1, do I have to take Survey #2?
First of all, THANK YOU for completing survey #1 in November!!!! Now for the question, do you have to? No. But please do! It would be great and incredibly valuable to have several organizations take all three survey so we can track ongoing impact throughout the year.

If I did NOT take Survey #1, should I fill out Survey #2?
Please do! We have constructed the survey such that all data is welcome whether you filled out Survey #1 or not. So yes, yes, yes, AND yes.

Who should take this survey?
Anyone that is dealing with heritage related activities in Oregon including, but not limited to, museums, historical societies, historic cemeteries, main streets, historic preservation, archaeology, genealogical societies, libraries with historical collections and archives, etc.

How long will the survey take?
Not going to lie, probably around 20-30 minutes. We suggest you have financials and attendance numbers and/or online analytics information with you for the period of this survey, November 2020-February 2021. The upside is, having this information handy after taking this survey will help you when applying for grants related to COVID-19 funding or if you are planning to appeal to your community or local decision makers for support.

Please take Survey #2 by April 30, 2021.<https://app.smartsheet.com/b/form/f274482c6cf44e299ba02f72f0e8efed>

Thank you in advance for taking this survey and making your organization's voice heard in future decision-making regarding COVID-19 recovery. If you have any questions about this survey or how the results will be used, please contact Katie Henry at katie.hnery at oregon.gov<mailto:katie.hnery at oregon.gov> or call (503) 877-8834.
