This topic was investigated by deploying a survey to staff members at libraries and archives affected by natural disasters in the past five years. The survey consisted of questions about what sources of funding those libraries and archives pursued and why they pursued them. The survey was administered through Qualtrics and potential participants were asked to participate via notices posted to professional listservs. The results were analyzed with Microsoft Excel. The findings of this study will likely have implications for how library and archival institutions apply for disaster recovery funding as well as how grant giving institutions advertise their funding opportunities.
