This chapter discusses the relevance of mixed methods research in developing a framework for digitising
records and archives. Mixed methods research has never been extensively used to find solution to the
problems experienced in digitising records and archives. Digitisation, in general, has become a diverse
area whose problems cannot be solved with a mono research methodology. The application of both quan-
titative and qualitative techniques in finding solutions in the digitisation of records and archives would
help records and archives professionals to have a deeper understanding of the difficulties associated
with digitising records and archives, especially as the field is facing some rebirth due to advancement
in technology. Digitisation of records and archives is revolving and gaining momentum due to the shifts
of paradigms in techniques of record-keeping.
