摘要：In April 2009 the UK Timescapes Initiative, in collabora- tion with the University of Bremen, organised a residential workshop to explore the nature of qualitative (Q) and qualitative longitudinal (QL) research and resources across Europe. The workshop was hosted by the Archive for Life Course Research (Archiv für Lebenslaufforschung, ALLF) at Bremen and funded by Timescapes with support from CESSDA (The Council of European Social Science Data Archives, Preparatory Phase Project). It was attended by archivists and researchers from 14 countries, including 'transitional' states such as Belarus and Lithuania. The broad aim of the workshop was to map existing infrastructures for qualitative and QL data archiving among the partici- pating countries, including the extent of archiving and the ethos of data sharing and re-use in different national contexts. The group also explored strate- gies to develop infrastructure and to support qualitative and QL research and resources, including collaborative research across Europe and beyond.
