Description 1 online resource : illustrations (black and white, and colour) Summary This exemplar is a document dated 8 February 1893 signed on behalf of 'the Swazi Nation', accompanied by some related materials. It is 'found' data: a 'document of life' that does not result from any researcher-involvement or prompting, but was used by the people who produced it in furthering their particular concerns and plans. The exemplar shows how documentary data can be analysed by attending to the content of individual documents, and also to the data as a whole and the wider social context, and will be of most use to those interested in analysing letters and other documents of life Audience Specialized Notes Description based on online resource; title from home page (viewed on September 16, 2015) Subject Narrative inquiry (Research method) Narrative inquiry (Research method) -- Case studies.
