JSTOR is a digital library, allowing storage for scholarly content. JSTOR was used for this project because their archives allow large amounts of data to be uploaded, exceeding what a website could support. The JSTOR linked below includes all the audio files of the interviews conducted, as well as the transcripts of the audio. They are labeled with the participant number, as the names of the participants have remained anonymous. When you click on the audio file or transcription, you will find the responses to survey questions to the right of the file. This gives background knowledge on the participant.
