note = "Suggested rank 3*/4* Originality {\~A}¢{\^A}{\^A} This is the first and only article to explore in detail the potential of girls{\~A}¢{\^A}{\^A} photo collections to enrich the historiography of youth, specifically to provide a {\~A}¢{\^A}{\^A}youth perspective{\~A}¢{\^A}{\^A} 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 {\~A}¢{\^A}{\^A} It draws attention to a hitherto neglected resource for research on the history of young people, one that has the potential to offer a {\~A}¢{\^A}{\^A}youth perspective{\~A}¢{\^A}{\^A} 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 women{\~A}¢{\^A}{\^A}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.",
