Abstract
As researchers in the social sciences, we glibly use the term ‘data collection’ in our research studies, but how do we really think of ‘collections’ in the data collection process? We ask this question because work with drawings (and indeed other forms of visual representation such as photos or collage) typically yields what might be regarded as an art collection.
