The archives and records of voluntary organisations are vital assets. They are important for voluntary organisations as an evidence base and a source of institutional identity and memory. They can also play an essential role in helping researchers to understand the roles of these organisations in society, past and present. The chapter addresses traditional approaches to using archives as well as ways of working collaboratively with research partners to access, analyse and curate archival material. The chapter offers methodological and theoretical insights into research with archives and objects, including exploring the ‘material turn’ in historical research, highlighting a growing interest in ‘archive as subject’ as opposed to ‘archive as source’ and considering how researchers might combine analysis of both contemporary and archival sources to understand public policy issues.
