This essay collection explores the ��hotographic turn��in oral history. Contributors ask how oral historians can best use photographs in their interviewing practice and how they can best
understand photographs in their interpretation of oral histories. The authors present a dozen case studies from Australia, Brazil, Canada, Germany, the United Kingdom, and the United
States. In exploring the intersection of oral history and photography, they complicate and move beyond the use of photographs as social documents and memory triggers and demonstrate how
photographs frame oral narratives and how stories unsettle the seeming fixity of photographs' meanings.
