Are you sitting on your qualitative data? Qualidata's mission.

The article features the Qualitative Data Archival Resource Centre which is supported by the Economic and Social Research Council in the Department of Sociology at the University of Essex in England. The main aims of the Centre are to locate, assess and document qualitative data and arrange for their deposit in suitable public archives. It also aims to disseminate information about and encourage the re-use of these data. One major function of the Centre is to maintain a database with information on the extent and availability of qualitative research material from a range of social science disciplines.
