Sharing Data Using the Qualitative Data Repository  

The Qualitative Data Repository (QDR) is a dedicated archive for storing and sharing qualitative and mixed-method research data. QDR staff specialize in qualitative research data and can assist Temple researchers throughout the research process.   

Temple Libraries is a QDR member institution and is eligible for a limited number of no-cost data deposits per year. Researchers should register for a QDR account using their Temple email address to download or deposit data. Learn more on our guide to the Qualitative Data Repository

Connect with other Philadelphia area Qualitative Researchers! 

Penn Libraries, in conjunction with the Philadelphia Qualitative Consortium, is hosting a listserv (libqualdata@lists.upenn.edu) to support the inter-institutional collaboration and communication of Philadelphia-area qualitative researchers. The goal of the listserv is to share information about workshops, events, job ads, networking opportunities, and more related to qualitative research. Interested in connecting? Subscribe online.
