Samenvatting	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).	Thematic Analysis (TA) is a qualitative research methodology for identifying, analyzing, and reporting patterns (themes) in qualitative data. Developed systematically by Virginia Braun and Victoria Clarke (2006), TA is flexible and accessible, applicable across diverse theoretical frameworks and data types, making it one of the most widely used qualitative methods in psychology, health research, and social sciences.
