Photographic analysis as ethnohistory: Interpretive strategies

Abstract

Photographs are documents which require very careful contexting for use in historical analysis. A researcher must establish meaning by reference to use as well as attempt to interpret photographs through the theories of visual meaning which historical actors themselves employed. Nonetheless, they are, in cases where they were widely used, essential documents for the full understanding of words.
