As it relates to this particular method the documents used are defined as any recorded or written material that was not created for the purposes of the analysis (Overview of Qualitative Methods and Analytic Techniques). Generally these documents are placed into two categories: public records and personal documents (Overview of Qualitative Methods and Analytic Techniques)."
