The data resulting from my research are audio-visual recordings of interviews and focus groups and a collection of artefacts. Can these be archived?
The UKDA judges each data offer on a case-by-case basis. Whilst it is preferable for research purposes that interviews and focus group discussions are transcribed (as it makes re-use of such data much easier), at times audio-visual materials are archived too. Paper-based artefacts, such as photos, postcards, family trees, could possibly be digitised. The UKDA will discuss this with you when you offer the data and you should not assume a priori that there will be data the UKDA does not want.
