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.

这项探索性研究小额赠款 (SGER) 项目将由 Joel M. Halpern 博士承担，他在塞尔维亚奥拉萨克村进行了五十多年的研究。除了大量出版物外，他的研究还收集了 4006 张照片。哈尔彭已将其材料的副本存入人际关系区档案 (HRAF)；在那里，照片被数字化并完成初步标记。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中的个人，并将它们链接到当天详细的官方人口普查记录（土地所有权、税务记录和人口统计）回到1860年代。 最终还将链接到描述性访谈、录音以及有关研究人员和社区的现有民族志电影。因此，该项目的目标不仅仅是更好地标记照片，而且还生成有关奥拉萨克亲属关系结构随时间变化以及社会和经济变化其他方面的新信息。该研究还将有助于分析、以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已经老龄化，因此该研究符合 SGER 收集临时数据的紧急研究标准。
