Triangulated Document Collection/Evidence
Method evidence record

Triangulated Document Collection

Triangulated document collection is a qualitative data collection strategy in which documents from multiple independent sources are gathered and cross-checked against one another. By drawing on different document types — such as official records, personal archives, institutional reports, and media artifacts — the researcher reduces reliance on any single source and strengthens the credibility of the evidence base. The approach applies Denzin's data triangulation principle directly to documentary material.
