Abstract
The authors see their task in creating an analytical procedure for historical and geographic images connected with a certain area. The concepts of Altai shaped by scientists and explorers serve as an example. One of the parameters required by such a procedure is "the location of the person in the social structure." This term refers to a large variety of factors related directly to the personality of the author of the source and his position in the society. To illustrate this option, the article analyzes the experience of numerous Altai travelers and scientists, with emphasis on positive reviews of mining and metallurgical area and its administration. It was found out that most characteristics of local orders and Cabinet officials in the end of the XIXth – beginning of the XXth century were negative, which still affects the objectivity of modern scientific research. The authors conclude that it is necessary to take into account different historical and geographical images, analyze the place of their creators in the social structure and not to allow images to replace scientific research.
