Papers of Richard Quinney, a Marxist sociologist noted for his work on criminology whose later work reflected interests in the relationship of sociology to religion, regionalism, photography, and the concept of life studies. The records document his work as a student and teacher of sociology; his involvement in professional organizations such as the American Sociological Association and the Society for the Study of Social Problems; and the writing of numerous books and articles. Later writings reflect his time growing up in Walworth County (Wisconsin) which he recounts in "For the Time Being" (1998) as well as his experiences traveling through Europe and Asia which are related in "Journey to a Far Place" (1991). Also included are the photographs used in these last two publications which consist of photographs taken in Walworth County and DeKalb (Illinois) by Quinney and other family members during the 1920s and 1930s as well as photographs of the locales in which he traveled. Additional photographs (available in digital format only) are from two other books by Quinney, "Of Time and Place" (2006) and "Things Once Seen" (2008). The processed portion of the collection is summarized above, dates 1921-2000, and is described in the register. Additional accessions date 1969-2001 and are described below, including slides taken by Quinney during the construction of the World Trade Center and photographs from his book "Borderland."
