Living Witnesses to Social Change and Family Documents as Community Archive
This article describes a strategy for studying social change in a community too small and/or remote to generate a substantial corpus of local official records or to receive regular coverage by nearby and regional media. In communities of this size (generally less than 1,000 people), the record of change often resides mostly in the shared memories and family memorabilia of surviving community residents. I outline the kinds of materials and evidenc…
Rephotography for Documenting Social Change1
Key Informant
The term key informant is generally associated, though not exclusively, with qualitative research in which a researcher employs interviewing of knowledgeable participants as an important part of the method of investigation. During the often extended period of fieldwork that such research requires, a particular subject may become an especially useful source of information, be repeatedly interviewed, and thus earn designation as a key informant. It…
A retrospective visual study of social change
This article outlines a strategy for reconstructing and visually documenting social change after the change is already largely completed. The example used is the pulp-logging industry in Ontonagon County, Michigan, in which change occurred slowly until 1970–1985, when a profound transformation took place. Notes Jon Rieger is Professor of Sociology at the University of Louisville and is one of the founders of the visual sociology movement. His wor…

Retrospective and cross‐sectional strategies are also considered. Parallels are drawn to quantitative methods. Guidance is offered for thos…
