Abstract
Biograms are life-stories by persons who are members of a selected social group, written in compliance with specific directions as to content and form and for the purpose of obtaining mass data. Biograms are distinguished from autobiographies and life-histories. They are of value in the study of social change and aid in the discovery of patterns underlying social behavior.
