Title: Working with archived data
Name: Ros Edwards
Affiliation: South Bank University
Abstract Details
This session will consider the possibilities and practices of working with various forms of archived material from three main perspectives: a funder of archived collections for re-use by researchers; archivists from a range of different institutions; and researchers who have been conducting studies that revisit archived data. The session aims to be accessible to people who may be interested in working with archived data but who have no specialist knowledge.
