This Small Grant for Exploratory Research (SGER) project will be undertaken by Dr. Joel M. Halpern, who has conducted research in the Serbian village of Orasac for over fifty years. In addition to numerous publications, his research has produced a collection of 4006 photographs. Halpern has deposited copies of his materials at the Human Relations Area Files (HRAF); there, the photos were digitized and preliminary labeling done. Now he will take the photo data base back to Orasac to have older members of the community identify the photos, locate the pictured individuals in kinship networks, and link them to detailed official census records (of landholdings, tax records, and demographics) that date back to the 1860s. Eventually links also will be made to descriptive interviews, tape recordings and to an existing ethnographic film concerning the researchers and the community. Thus the goal of the project is not simply to better label photographs, but also to generate new information about Orasac kinship changes structure over time, as well as other aspects of social and economic change. The research also will contribute to analytical, historically oriented ethnologies of science, and protect this unique collection for future generations of researchers, both in the United States and in Europe. Because the informants who can best contribute to this project are aging, the research meets the SGER criterion of urgent research to collect ephemeral data.

这项探索性研究（SGER）项目的小赠款将由乔尔·M·霍尔珀恩（Joel M. Halpern）博士进行，他在塞尔维亚村奥拉萨克（Orasac）进行了五十多年的研究。除了众多出版物外，他的研究还制作了4006张照片。 Halpern已将其材料的副本存放在人际关系区域档案（HRAF）中；在那里，将照片数字化并进行了初步标记。现在，他将把照片数据库带回奥拉萨克，让社区的年长成员识别照片，在亲属网络中找到照片的个人，并将其链接到该日期的详细官方人口普查记录（土地持有，税收记录和人口统计数据）回到1860年代。 最终，链接还将成为描述性访谈，录音带以及有关研究人员和社区的现有民族志电影。因此，该项目的目的不仅是为了更好地标记照片，还要生成有关随着时间的推移以及社会和经济变化的其他方面的新信息。这项研究还将有助于分析性，历史为导向的科学民族学，并为美国和欧洲的后代研究人员保护这一独特的收藏。 由于最能为该项目做出贡献的线人是老化，因此该研究符合紧急研究的SGER标准以收集短暂的数据。
