Ethnographic database project
http://www.ucl.ac.uk/~ucsalfo/EDP/
The Ethnographic Database Project (EDP) is a web-based interface for the collection of comparative ethnographic data which can be used in cross-cultural analyses of human culture and behaviour. The EDP allows anthropologists to enter data from their field research in a standardised format. The project is in its early stages and is, at present, limited to data on a society's organisation, kinship and marriage practices, subsistence economy and pattern of sexual division of labour. There is also a focus on societies speaking Indo-European languages as these are felt to be underrepresented in existing ethnographic datasets. The web site gives background information about the project, a sample of the data collection form to be used and a contact form for anyone who wishes to become invloved.

Ethnographic Writing by Martyn Hammersley
http://sru.soc.surrey.ac.uk/SRU5.html
As a result of the influence of structuralism and post-structuralism, and of a revival of the ancient discipline of rhetoric, much greater attention is now given to the study of texts, including those produced by natural scientists and historians, but also those of social scientists. In this context interest in ethnographic writing has greatly increased. Not only are there now several books concerned with how to write ethnographic or qualitative accounts but there is also a growing literature of a more theoretical kind concerned with the rhetorical devices that ethnographers deploy, the presuppositions on which these are based, the functions they perform. This article is published in the online journal Social Research Update, Issue 5.

Ethnography on the move : from field to net to internet, by Andreas Wittel
http://qualitative-research.net/fqs-texte/1-00/1-00wittel-e.htm
"Traditional ethnographies have been based on the ideas of locality. But with the rise of globalisation processes this concept has been increasingly questioned on a theoretical level. In the last decade, US-American anthropologists called for multi-sited ethnographies. However, the practical implications for research with such a shift have not been broadly discussed yet. Now, with the Internet and different kinds of virtual interaction patterns, ethnographic work faces a new challenge. This paper argues that it is necessary to focus on the implications of fieldwork in virtual settings for ethnographic practice." [Author's abstract.] This article is published in the free, online journal "Forum: Qualitative Social Research", Vol. 1. No.1 . 2000. The author currently works as research officer at the Centre for Cultural Studies, Goldsmiths College University of London.

Mobile Computing in a Fieldwork Environment
http://www.cs.kent.ac.uk/people/staff/nsr/mobicomp/Fieldwork/Software/index
This web page provides Jason Pascoe's and Nick Ryan's software for hand held computers. The software allows users to integrate GPS (Global Positioning System) devices with hand held computers (like Visors) in semi-automatic ways. The software takes GPS readings (and other readings depending on the user's settings) and stores them automatically in a field note application. This allows users to keep track of their location and altitude throughout the day. The software allows users to create and edit text field notes, exchange field notes between hand held machines and databases, create maps and perform GPS post-processing. This web page provides a brief introduction to the software however users may also down load the user manual along with the latest version of the software. The web page is updated as new versions of the software are made available. This project was developed within the University of Kent Computing Science department.

Social Aesthetics and the Doon School: Social Landscapes
http://cc.joensuu.fi/sights/david2.htm
In this paper, David MacDougall of the Australian National University discusses how visual anthropology may reunite the sensory with the cultural landscape. MacDougall argues that the Doon School project, like many similar studies, can be seen as part of a larger effort internationally to apply visual media to fields such as anthropology, sociology, and history that have traditionally developed as disciplines of words.

Each chapter and all of the illustrations are available separately as well as the Appendix and the Preface and Introduction by Larry Gross.

Visual Research Methods by Marcus Banks
http://sru.soc.surrey.ac.uk/SRU11/SRU11.html
This paper, published in the electronic journal Social Research Update, reviews the history of the use of visual data in sociology and anthropology. Visual data have been of concern to the social sciences in two ways: visual records produced by the investigator, and visual documents produced by those under study. In recent years, however, this dichotomy between the observer and the observed has begun to collapse and a third kind of visual record or, more accurately, representation has emerged: the collaborative representation. Visual anthropology and visual sociology proceed methodologically by making visual representations (studying society by producing images), by examining pre-existing visual representations (studying images for information about society), and by collaborating with social actors in the production of visual representations.
