Dear Member

The Society for Historical Archaeology is pleased to be participating in a survey researching occupational wellbeing among archaeologists in the United States.  It is the first national research of its kind, and it will provide important insights for our profession.  This research is being conducted by a team of researchers from the departments of Archaeology and Anthropology, Public Health, and Psychology at the University of Wisconsin-La Crosse.  We encourage you to participate in this important research.  Below is a message from the researchers along with an electronic link to the survey itself.

Sincerely,
J.W. Joseph
President

Dear SHA Member:

We are very pleased to invite you to complete the occupational wellbeing survey through the following link: https://uwlacrosse.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_0DpbRUi3a2b6ML3.  It is the first wellbeing assessment of Archaeologists in the United States, and it is completely anonymous.  All data will be reported in aggregate (i.e., grouped data) so that you will not be individually identified.   We encourage you to complete the survey so that the results can be as representative as possible.  If you receive the survey from multiple sources, please only complete the survey one time.  Further, please do not send the survey link to others who have not received it directly from the SHA. Finally, we ask that you please complete the survey by March 15.

We wish to thank you in advance for your response.
