ABSTRACT
This book is about archival research and ways of crafting methodological frameworks for carrying it out. ‘Methodology’ signals a framework that harnesses both method or specific research tools, and also theory in the sense of a framework of ideas, and its meaning is fairly settled. The word ‘archive’, however, can conjure up different things for different people and is a term still very much in the making. Indeed, the interest and excitement around it remains palpable and infectious.
