Welcome to the Timescapes Qualitative Longitudinal Data Archive

This is the first port of call for researchers who would like to learn more about the Archive and its holdings.

Here you will find advice on how to use the archive, how to register as a user, and how to conduct qualitative secondary analysis. If you are planning a new Qualitative Longitudinal research project and would like guidance on data management or the archiving of your dataset, you will find useful information on our depositor pages.

If you have any queries or comments on these web pages or on the archive resource itself, or would like advice on the development of your QL projects, please contact us. We would be pleased to hear from you.
