👉 Keep research, also known as archival or historical research, involves the systematic study of primary sources—documents, records, and artifacts—to understand past events, behaviors, and contexts. This method allows researchers to directly access original materials, providing authentic insights that are not filtered through secondary interpretations. By examining letters, diaries, official records, photographs, and other archival items, keep researchers can reconstruct historical narratives, identify patterns, and challenge or support existing theories. The process is crucial for fields like history, sociology, and cultural studies, offering a deep, nuanced understanding of the past that informs current and future perspectives.
