There seems to be a culture of working alone and not sharing data, this culture really needs to change to make the most of the limited research resources. The archive (ASSDA) can archive a wide variety of research information including notebooks, images, video recordings, observation data as well as the statistical data. I would like to discuss with the social science community and other archivists:

1. The views of social science researchers about sharing their work and working collaboratively.

2. What it takes to convince them to archive their research.

3. What do they want from a social science archive?
