요약	Longitudinal historical archival research is a qualitative and documentary method that systematically examines primary archival sources — records, manuscripts, correspondence, institutional files — across multiple points in time to trace change, continuity, or development within a phenomenon over an extended historical period. By imposing a longitudinal dimension on standard archival inquiry, researchers can reconstruct how events, structures, policies, or social conditions evolved rather than capturing only a single historical moment.	Longitudinal research is an observational design in which the same participants, groups, or units are measured repeatedly over an extended period. Rather than capturing a single snapshot, it tracks change, stability, and temporal sequencing of variables — making it the primary non-experimental strategy for studying development, growth, decline, and the unfolding of causal processes across time.
