สรุป	Visual elicitation oral history is a qualitative method that uses photographs, objects, maps, or other visual materials as prompts during oral history interviews. By placing a tangible visual anchor before the narrator, the researcher unlocks richer, more detailed memories and personal meanings than spoken questions alone typically produce. The approach merges John Collier Jr.'s photo-elicitation technique with oral history's commitment to capturing first-person lived experience across time.	Ethnography is a qualitative research tradition in which a researcher immerses themselves in a social group or community over an extended period — typically three to six months or longer — to study its culture, values, and behaviours in their natural setting. Originating in social and cultural anthropology, and consolidated as a rigorous method by Bronisław Malinowski in the early twentieth century, ethnography produces rich, contextualised accounts of how people live, work, and make meaning together.
