PWS Appendix 13_Visitor Data - Archives I (2015 through 2024).xlsx

This file is an appendix (Appendix 13) containing visitor data for Archives I from fiscal years 2015-2024, presented as a monthly breakdown of visitor statistics. The data shows significant seasonal fluctuation in visitor numbers, with peak months typically occurring in March through July (often exceeding 100,000 visitors per month) and lower attendance in winter months. The data reflects the impact of COVID-19, with dramatic decreases beginning in March 2020 and continuing through 2021, followed by a gradual recovery in 2022-2024. Total annual visitors ranged from a high of 1,302,351 in FY2017 to a low of 57,374 in FY2021 during the pandemic, with recent years showing recovery to over 1 million visitors annually.

This appendix appears to be supporting documentation for a solicitation seeking an Enterprise Ticketing System for the National Archives and Records Administration, providing historical visitor data to help vendors understand the scale and seasonal patterns of visitor traffic they would need to accommodate in their proposed ticketing solution.
