Diary research?

Question

What social science research has used diaries as a form of qualitative research methods?

Any answers or good links most appreciated.

Thanks

I mean specific studies, like on dreams or relationships...etc

an example of non-social science would be the diaries of anne frank.

I found this link which was interesting - I'm sure everyone else including you could find this (see below)
However, your question also made me think about contemporary 'diary' keeping in the area of anti social behaviour. I don't know if its any use to you but if there is a problem with anti social behaviour in an area, diary sheets are issued to those affected to detail dates, times and events so that the authorities can follow up on those incidents. This is a form of social science research using diaries but may not be what you are looking for. Interesting question. Many thanks...
