        Subject: Survey on Digital Collections and AI in Archaeology

Dear colleagues,

The MAIA COST Action (https://maiacost.eu/), Working Group 2 "Digital
Comparative Collections and AI Training Data for Archaeology", invites you
to participate in a short survey exploring the availability,
accessibility, documentation, licensing, and AI-readiness of digital
archaeological collections.

The survey aims to identify current practices and challenges related to
comparative collections and training data used in AI applications for
archaeology. The results will contribute to the development of
best-practice recommendations and future activities within MAIA.

We particularly encourage participation from archaeologists, museum
professionals, heritage organisations, digital archivists, data stewards,
repository managers, and researchers working with digital cultural heritage
collections.

The survey takes approximately 5-10 minutes to complete.

We would be grateful if you could also share this survey with relevant
colleagues and networks. The survey will remain open for responses until 31
October 2026.

Thank you for supporting MAIA and contributing to a better understanding of
digital collections and AI in archaeology.

Kind regards,
MAIA Working Group 2
