Genealogists and Historians Use of Digital Cameras: Poll Results

Here are the results of the survey Digital Photography and Research posted on Tuesday. 75 people responded.













The vast majority of genealogists responding, 87%, used digital cameras in archives. A further 8% don't research in archives,  Ian Milligan's results for a similar survey of historians in Canada found 85% used digital cameras multiple times and a further 7% once or twice.

Ian's results were based on 253 responses received, a 17.3% completion rate. The 75 responses to Tuesday's survey came from 223 article views, a 33.6% completion rate.

At the 90% confidence level the results from the two surveys are not significantly different, the margin of error for the genealogists being 6.4%.
