Archival data has a new mission: Critical; it's not what it used to be. On regular basis, Archive Systems would scan anywhere from 175,000 to 275,000 single pages per day for a customer's digital archives and for online retrieval using up to ten lower speed and smaller capacity scanners.
Theories are formulated to explain, predict, and understand phenomena and, in many cases, to challenge and extend existing knowledge within the limits of critical bounding assumptions. The theoretical framework is the structure that can hold or support a theory of a research study.
In this sense, you are always being guided by a theoretical framework, but you don't know it. Not knowing what your real framework is can be a problem. The framework tends to guide what you notice in an organization, and what you don't notice. In other words, you don't even notice things that don't fit your framework!
