Ethnohistory is an interdisciplinary method combining anthropological and historical approaches. The ethnohistorical method is introduced and its application to the study of textiles and clothing is demonstrated through examples of cross-cultural research. Two controversies regarding the interdisciplinary nature of ethnohistory are investigated and analyzed in relation to textiles and clothing research. An interdisciplinary method, such as ethnohistory, can foster linkages among textiles and clothing scholars and stimulate research that crosses disciplinary boundaries.
