Visual Elicitation Document Analysis
Visual elicitation document analysis is a qualitative method that uses visual materials — photographs, drawings, institutional images, maps, or archival visuals — embedded within or alongside documents to prompt deeper participant reflection and to enrich the interpretive reading of those documents. By treating visuals as primary analytic objects rather than mere illustrations, the approach bridges visual elicitation (provoking meaning-making through images) and systematic document analysis (examining records for evidence of social, institutional, or cultural processes).
