Salvage ethnography is the recording of the practices and folklore of cultures threatened with extinction, including as a result of modernization and assimilation. It is generally associated with the American anthropologist Franz Boas;[1] he and his students aimed to record vanishing Native American cultures.[2] Since the 1960s, anthropologists have used the term as part of a critique of 19th-century ethnography and early modern anthropology.[3]
