| Annotation | The link between secondary analysis and research in ageing is novel and represents an attempt to crystallise issues in the re-use of archived data, both qualitative and quantitative, around a particular topic. The re-use of another researcher's qualitative data - be it interviews, photographs or audio recordings - is presenting new and exciting challenges for social science researchers to answer new research questions. The contributors to this collection have all re-used quantitative and qualitative archived data; and the chapters in this collection draw on their experiences. Among the major sources discussed are the Economic and Social Data Service (ESDS) led by the UK Data Archive, University of Essex; official statistics, including the Census; studies and surveys by researchers such as Michael Young and Peter Wilmott; Mass Observation social research archive at the University of Sussex; and Margot Jeffries' interviews with the Pioneers of Geriatric Medicine (1990-91). With a focus on ageing, the editors have been able to draw on the work of contributors who are linked by a shared interest: ageing and the experience of later life. The papers are revisions of those first presented at a Centre for Policy on Ageing (CPA) and Open University Centre for Ageing and Biographical Studies (CABS) seminar in December 2008. (RH). |
