Biography/History
Harold Garfinkel was the social theorist who developed and utilized ethnomethodology to study social thought and practice.
He received a BS in economics from the University of Newark in 1939; an MA in sociology from the University of North Carolina
in 1942; and a Ph.D in sociology from Harvard University in 1952. He worked as an assistant professor (1954-1957) and professor
of sociology (1960-1984) at UCLA. He received the Cooley-Mead Award of the Social Psychology Section of the American Sociological
Association in 1995. He wrote
Studies in Ethnomethodology published in 1967.
Scope and Content
The collection consists of materials relating to a project to study the correspondence received by the Governor of California,
about the case of Caryl Chessman, 1959-1960, and related issues such as capital punishment. Chessman was convicted on various
felony counts and his execution on May 2, 1960 brought to an end court proceedings that had lasted over a period of years.
The original letters to the Governor are arranged in several numbered sequences: a detailed description of both the arrangement
and the numbering system, which was set up by the Governor's Office and subsequently retained, is given in Box 2, as part
of what appears to be a draft progress report dated September 12, 1962, on the study project.
Correspondence is selected (not all correspondence is included).
The addition to the Harold Garfinkel Papers was acquired between 2008-2010 and includes Garfinkel's professional and research
files dating prior to and after Garfinkel's Chessman research; selected audio recordings; correspondence and printed email;
typed transcriptions of course lectures and presentations; reprints; research notes; and research proposals.
Ethnomethodology: "refer[s] to the investigation of the rational properties of indexical expressions and other practical actions
as contingent ongoing accomplishments of organized artful practices of everyday life."
