Although most survey respondents preferred permanent jobs, many of them were forced to freelance for various reasons. More survey respondents believed the number and percentage of freelance archivists will increase than those who believed otherwise. Archival educators were expected to prepare archives management students for a freelance career. To support freelance archivists, professional associations need to offer more continuing education courses or workshop tailored to freelance archivists and consider creating a freelance website for archival services in collaboration with closely related professions.Keywords: Freelance archivistsarchivesarchives managementfreelance websites Notes1 Andrew Burke and Marc Cowling, “The Use and Value of Freelancers: The Perspective of Managers,” International Review of Entrepreneurship 13, no. 1 (2015): 9.2 André Van Stel and Nardo de Vries, “The Economic Value of Different Types of Solo Self-Employed: A Review,” International Review of Entrepreneurship 13, no. 2 (2015): 79.3 Andrew Burke, The Freelance Project and Gig Economies of the 21st Century (London: Centre for Research on Self-Employment (CRSE), 2019), 6. https://crse.co.uk/research/freelance-project-and-gig-economies-21st-century.4 Allessandro Gandini, “The Rise of a Freelance Economy,” in The Reputation Economy.

This article aims to clarify the necessity and priority of preserving conventional and unconventional types of documents as a national collection based on questionnaire surveys in Japan, focusing on public perceptions. The findings indicated that the public need conventional media such as books and journals with a high priority for preservation whereas the level of necessity and priority for archiving unconventional media, such as computer games and social media content, remains low. A logistic analysis suggests that time and exposure to unconventional media can gradually alter public attitude.","PeriodicalId":35382,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Archival Organization","volume":"1 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2023-08-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49223639","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Through this, many have created additional documentation, expanded description practices, and even built new capacities entirely.
