      ab: The article looks at the history and future of social and cultural anthropology and methodological issues in the field. The author calls for anthropologists to make greater use of the discipline's storehouse of ethnographic information, both as a subject of academic study and as a cultural and political resource for the groups studied or their descendants. Topics include the participant-observation methodology of anthropology, the need for an organized international ethnographic archive, and changes over time in the kinds of societies studied by anthropologists as isolated traditional societies have disappeared.
