This paper discusses ways of integrating evidence from architectural remains and documents in the study of buildings. It begins with a quantitative bibliographical examination of the actual use of multidisciplinary, document-based approaches in studies of vernacular architecture since the later 1940s, showing the limits to progress. It goes on to discuss the types of sources that have been advocated and used in such studies, and the restrictions imposed by their local availability and character. Several notable instances of the use of combined evidence are considered. The paper ends by reviewing the increased accessibility of traditional records relevant to vernacular architecture, as made possible by specialist online portals, databases, and search engines
