Collecting the Data
Hilary Coombes · 2001
You will collect two kinds of data during your research. First, the historical data collected from background reading, access to written records, audio disks, video and computer sources, letters, drawings and so on. Second, the first-hand data that you generate during the research process, interview information, questionnaire returns and so on. This chapter is mainly concerned with the historical data that you will gather before you start to produce your own first-hand data. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
