Zusammenfassung	Digital Life History Research is a qualitative biographical method that investigates how individuals construct, narrate, and preserve their life stories using digital tools and environments. It extends the classical life history tradition into online spaces — gathering data through video interviews, asynchronous email narratives, digital diaries, social media timelines, and multimedia life documents — to understand personal and social experience across time.	Narrative inquiry is a qualitative research methodology that treats stories and life narratives as primary data, analyzing how individuals construct meaning and identity through storytelling. Developed by D. Jean Clandinin and F. Michael Connelly (2000), narrative inquiry examines the narratives people tell about their lives, experiences, and transitions, understanding that people make sense of experience through narrative.
