Abstract
Work in the Garfinkel Archive has illuminated the development of ethnomethodology and conversation analysis, and helped to clarify misunderstandings about their relationship to sociology. The archive contains hundreds of writings, tape recordings, letters, and transcripts that Garfinkel produced over the 72 years of his academic career. It covers every major period, from early graduate work at UNC–Chapel Hill under Howard Odum and doctoral studies at Harvard under Talcott Parsons, through 33 years as a professor at UCLA, to the final 24 years of his life when he continued to lecture, teach, write, mentor students, and publish books and articles. Work on the Garfinkel Archive aims to make Garfinkel’s unpublished writing and many audio and video recordings available to scholars. Providing a unique window into his work and his collaborations, the archive addresses major misconceptions about Garfinkel and the other important social thinkers with whom he worked, including Parsons, Goffman and Sacks, promising to reshape important aspects of the history of sociology. This chapter provides an overview of the archive itself, the challenges of cataloguing and organising its contents, and identifies its contributions to our understanding of ethnomethodology, conversation analysis, sociology and social theory, both past and present.
