요약	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.	Multi-source document collection is a data-gathering strategy in which researchers systematically locate, retrieve, and compare documents drawn from two or more independent sources — such as government archives, institutional records, media outlets, organisational reports, or digital repositories. By assembling evidence from diverse provenance, researchers can triangulate findings, detect discrepancies, and build a richer, more credible picture of the phenomenon under study than any single documentary source can provide.
