Vernacular Photographs as Visual Social History

Vernacular photographs, which generally include snapshot-everyday photographs, are intended to record a variety of qualities present in daily life and a fundamental link to actions, beliefs, habits and ways of life. People practically have citation qualities like the visual context of social history. From this perspective, in the study and analysis of vernacular photographs, it is not their artistic and aesthetic qualities, but the everyday methods of photographic recording by people from the perspective of social history that are important. Accordingly, the nature, definitions, and content of Vernacular photographs can be addressed by the method of social historians who try to analyze the most detailed everyday issues in a particular cultural context. The main question, however, is that, based on the history of daily life, what features of Vernacular photographs place it ontologically linked to new social history? It can be said that this category of photographic works, due to being out of the custom and definitions of artistic institutions, is out of the imperative requirements and necessities of art, and this provides the emergence of a unique citation quality from the context of daily life for historians. As a result, Vernacular photography is an essential visual content for research in the field of social history studies, and it may not be far-fetched to say that without the registration of Vernacular documents, studies of daily life in social contexts would face the problem of deficiencies in citations and Referrals.
