The Visual Anthropology Review is the official publication of the Society for Visual Anthropology, a section of the American Anthropological Association. It is published with support and assistance from the Center for Visual Anthropology of the Department of Anthropology at the University of Southern California and is starting a slow move to Anthropology at the University of Virginia.
This WEB site will house ancillary materials relevant to the journal and the journal's goals. Expect to find - starting in late 1997 and beyond - appendices to articles appearing in the journal (permitting the publication of images beyond the journal's resources), reports on conferences pertaining to Visual Anthropology, workshop reports and work in progress, and occasional special presentations.

Joanna Scherer of the Smithsonian Institution (and a former President of the Society for Visual Anthropology) has prepared a set of WEB pages describing the work of Benedicte Wrensted, a Danish photographer, who owned a studio in Idaho in the 1900's. One of her major patrons were Native Americans living in the area.
These pages were destined for the Smithsonian web site, but insufficient space there brings them here to VAR - Virginia. We at VAR and the Electronic Text Center at the Alderman Library are pleased to be of help.
Take a look.
The Department of Anthropology at Temple University has put Sol Worth's long out of print book, Studying Visual Communication line. It is there for everyone.
Sapir operates a site devoted to aspects of still photography: Fixing Shadows. One set of pages, under development, addresses problems of Ethno-Photography.
