সারসংক্ষেপ	Textual criticism is a systematic philological method for identifying, comparing, and evaluating variant readings across multiple manuscript or print witnesses of a text in order to reconstruct the most accurate version of the original — or the author's intended — text. Applied since antiquity to classical, biblical, and literary works, it remains the foundational editorial method in classical studies, biblical scholarship, medieval studies, and critical editing of literary works.	Historical archival research is a systematic method of investigating the past through the critical examination of primary source documents preserved in archives, libraries, and institutional collections. Researchers locate, access, authenticate, and interpret original records — such as government documents, correspondence, diaries, maps, and institutional files — to reconstruct events, trace processes, and build evidence-based historical arguments. It is foundational to historiography and widely applied across humanities and social science disciplines.
