This article shares our journey as we conduct and sustain a longitudinal collective case study with children from immigrant families across time and space. From this overview, students will be invited to consider the logistics involved in designing and implementing a longitudinal case study research project. We will address challenges in recruiting and maintaining a robust team of researchers while organizing and maintaining a large corpus of data. Additionally, we share strategies for building and maintaining trusting relationships with participants across time and space, consider dynamic methods for the dissemination of findings, and consider the ethical and reflexive considerations inherent in longitudinal research
