Description

The dataset represents the results from a survey that was part of the work in a research project focusing on new technologies in museums and historic environment conservation. The project is a collaboration between the University of Gothenburg and the Swedish History Museum, and financed by the National Heritage Board. The survey is aimed at professionals within the museum and historic environment conservation sectors and focuses on the use of digital immersive technology in the public sphere. The survey and the results were created in Microsoft Forms and were processed in Microsoft Excel using the Colectica plugin. The answers are a combination of open-ended questions and check boxes.

The dataset contain answers to 9 questions that require answering both in checkboxes and via free text. Both the questions and the checkboxes options are shown in the documentation file. The data file shows the answers from 74 anonymous respondents from 74 different museums.

Sampling procedure

The survey was sent to 181 museums in Sweden, 74 of whom answered. The contact with the museums was partially anonymous. The survey was first and foremost sent to a general e-mail address but where this wasn't possible, the survey was sent to appropriate contact persons. The museum then made the decision themselves who within the organisation would be responsible for filling in the survey.
