This article describes The New Social Research, a methodology textbook published in 1926 by Emory S. Bogardus. This was the product of the methodological developments associated with the Pacific Race Relations Survey, directed by Robert Park. The book is of considerable interest for what it tells us about research methods at the time, in particular the transition from methods based on the life history to the use of depth interviewing, but it is now largely forgotten, for reasons that are discussed.
