An empirical study on the archivation of life stories as qualitative data and succession in the ' research heritage'

自20世纪70年代末以来，关于生活故事的处理方法一直存在争议。在此期间，积累了大量的定性数据，这些数据已开始达到历史价值。在决定如何管理这类数据时，人们对作为社会学文件和任何二次用途的数据的保存和维护表示关切。为了了解这一现状和所涉及的问题，并探索未来可能构成有效利用的因素，我们从研究遗产和档案的角度对定性研究数据进行了实证研究。在三年的时间里，我们进行了三种不同类型的研究：对定性研究人员的问卷调查，对某些档案的案例研究，以及对定性研究文献的分析。我们已经在论坛和学术会议上发表了这项研究的成果，并以公报和报告的形式发表了论文。

Since the late 1970s there have been contesting methodologies regarding the handling of lif stories. During this time, there has been an accumulation of qualitative data that have begun to attain historical values. In deciding how to manage such data, there is concern over the conservation and maintenance of the data both as sociological documents and with regard to any secondary uses. In order to understand this situation and the problems involved and explore what might constitute efficient use in the future, we conducted an empirical study on qualitative research data from the viewpoint of a 'research heritage' and archiving. Over a three-year period, we carried oun three different kinds of researches: as questionnaire for qualitative researchers, case studies on certain archives, and an analysis of qualitative research documentation. We have presented the results of this research at forum and symposium at academic conference, as papers in a bulletin and in a report.
