This project aimed to assess who the users of the web archives, like those collected by the New York Art Resources Consortium (NYARC), are or might be, and what challenges they face in accessing and using them. I created an online survey addressing opportunities and obstacles in web archives research to collect quantitative and qualitative information about researchers' familiarity with and uses of web archives. A different set of questions was provided to participants who had or had not used web archives in their research. In order to collect information from a wide range of researchers, I solicited participation through several specialized listservs. The survey was launched on March 4, 2020 and was closed on April 13, 2020. To evaluate the resulting data, I employed descriptive statistical analysis of the quantitative data, processing the data and creating visualizations of the results. In analyzing the qualitative data, I employed emergent-category coding to determine common themes among short-answer responses.
