You asked for another, we answered! Once again we are hosting a PDW on Qualitative Archival Methods. We will begin with presentations and end with roundtable discussions.

Archival research has for a long time been used to supplement qualitative research. However, recently the use of archival research-the analysis of textual traces that actors (e.g. people, organizations or markets) leave behind when they go about their daily business- in qualitative analysis has dramatically increased due to the digitalization of textual data. The availability of archival data raises new methodological opportunities and challenges for qualitative researchers who aim to generate organizational theory particularly in terms of the abundance and the heterogeneity of the data. To rise to this challenge, this PDW aims to bring together qualitative scholars who work with archival data to both create a community of scholars engaged in these methods and to begin a collective conversation about the tools and methods that we need to develop to push research forward in this domain.
