In April 2016 Manchester eScholar was replaced by the University of Manchester’s
new Research Information Management System, Pure. In the autumn the University’s research
outputs will be available to search and browse via a new Research Portal. Until then
the University’s full publication record can be accessed via a
temporary portal and the old eScholar content is available to search and browse via this archive.

General notes:
- Suggested rank 3*/4* Originality â€Â“ This is the first and only article to explore in detail the potential of girlsâ€Â™ photo collections to enrich the historiography of youth, specifically to provide a â€Â˜youth perspectiveâ€Â™ on the past. I argue that scholars can learn from the content and meaning of collections but also, importantly, the practices that underpin them. I discuss how interviews can be used alongside study of the visual and material dimensions of collections. Significance â€Â“ It draws attention to a hitherto neglected resource for research on the history of young people, one that has the potential to offer a â€Â˜youth perspectiveâ€Â™ rather than an adult perspective on young people. It explores methods and methodological issues involved in this type of research. I was asked to submit this article by one of the editors following a presentation at a specialist photography seminar. The journal is international and interdisciplinary. Rigour - The article is based on 5 case studies involving a detailed study of 5 womenâ€Â™s girlhood photo collections and 2 x 2 hour interviews with each woman. The context includes empirical studies of photo collections; theoretical literature on photography; theoretical and methodological literature working with photos, memory, interviews, including photo elicitation.
