AbstractThis article examines the document work involved in a workers’ enquiry conducted at the FIAT plant in Turin at the beginning of the 1960s. The study in question soon became well known in Italy both as an influential early example of post-war workplace sociological research, and for its unusual conclusions predicting an impending period of heightened industrial conflict at the auto firm. Taking a genre approach, this article attempts an archival excavation of a series of those ‘support documents’ (fieldnotes, interview schedules and transcripts) that were utilised in the original enquiry. Bringing critical attention to bear upon the creation and use of such documents, and charting their relationship to the ways in which the study’s findings were subsequently reported, the article highlights their key, if often undervalued role in the document work bound up with the enquiry itself. In the process, it also raises a number of relevant questions, including the significance of such support documents within the holdings of a community archive itself.

体裁，共同研究和文献工作：1960–1961年FIAT工人的调查

摘要本文研究了1960年代初在都灵FIAT工厂进行的工人询问所涉及的文件工作。这项研究很快就在意大利广为人知，既是战后工作场所社会学研究的有影响力的早期实例，又以其非同寻常的结论预示着汽车公司即将发生严重的工业冲突。本文采用一种体裁方法，尝试对原始查询中使用的一系列“支持文件”（田野记录，采访时间表和成绩单）进行档案挖掘。该文章特别关注这些文档的创建和使用，并指出了它们与随后报告研究结果的方式之间的关系，文章重点介绍了它们的关键，如果文档工作中经常被低估的角色与查询本身联系在一起。在此过程中，它还提出了一些相关问题，包括在社区档案馆本身的馆藏中此类支持文件的重要性。
