Digital Life History Research

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.
