Using visual materials from the vast photographic archives of the Peabody Museum and the work of members of Harvard's anthropology department, the accompanying catalog investigates how anthropologists have employed the camera as a recording and analytic tool and as an aesthetic medium. Photographs ranging from daguerreotypes to satellite images are presented in an examination of the possibilities and limitations of using the camera as a fact-gathering and interpretive tool. The authors also explore the broader implications of the uses--and misuses--of visual imagery within the human sciences. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eFrom Site to Sight\u003c\/i\u003e has been a foundational text for scholars and students in the developing field of visual anthropology, illustrating the role of photographic imagery in anthropology and archaeology from the disciplines' formative years to the 1980s.
