Abstract
This Methods Futures Briefing focuses on changes to qualitative data archives. It first outlines what qualitative data archives are, using the UK’s Mass Observation Archive and its COVID-19 Collection as an exemplar. The advent of various technologies and social changes may impact the meaning and status of qualitative data archives, and this briefing highlights some social science and humanities (SSH) methodological concerns that may arise due to these changes.
