Papers of Richard Quinney, a Marxist sociologist noted for his work on criminology whose later work reflected interests in the relationship of sociology to religion, regionalism, photography, and the concept of life studies. The records document his work as a student and teacher of sociology; his involvement in professional organizations such as the American Sociological Association and the Society for the Study of Social Problems; and the writing of numerous books and articles. Later writings reflect his time growing up in Walworth County (Wisconsin) which he recounts in For the Time Being (1998) as well as his experiences traveling through Europe and Asia which are related in Journey to a Far Place (1991). Also included are the photographs used in these last two publications which consist of photographs taken in Walworth County and DeKalb (Illinois) by Quinney and other family members during the 1920s and 1930s, as well as photographs of the locales in which he traveled. Additional photographs (available in digital format only) are from two other books by Quinney, Of Time and Place and Things Once Seen.
There is a restriction on use of this material; see the Administrative/Restriction Information portion of this finding aid for details.
Portions of this collection are available only on microfilm.
Electronic reproductions of some of the images from For the Time Being and Journey to a Far Place and electronic reproductions of all images from Of Time and Place and Things Once Seen are available through the Wisconsin Historical Images page on the Wisconsin Historical Society web site.
The DVD of digital files for the book Of Time and Place includes three sets of the same 67 images. One set has the extension .RGB (full size scans), one has the extension .CMYK (used for printing the book) and one has the extension .JPG (used for web delivery).
