PhotoVoice is a method that combines photography with journaling. In this project, volunteers are given cameras and asked to take pictures of places in their community that are important to them in their personal history and hold value for them.
As they take their photographs, volunteers explain in a journal why they took the pictures they did, creating both a written and photographic record of personal remembrances all directly tied to place. The transcribed PhotoVoice journals from each community is hosted by the East Texas Research Center and accessible through the community's page: Arcadia and Murvaul Creek.
The following short video presentation includes some of the photographs and journal entries provided by volunteers. These long time residents of Arcadia, TX have seen their community change over the course of time.
