Virtual datasets

ESDS Qualidata works with other archives in order to make qualitative datasets more widely available. In some cases, collections may have been acquired, processed and catalogued by ESDS Qualidata but are now made available through other archives (e.g. British Library Sound Archive). These datasets are referred to as 'virtual' datasets. Most often, these collections exist only in non-digital paper format (paper, analogue audio etc.). Users can also browse these archive holdings.
