The founder of Columbia University's Bureau of Applied Social Research, he exerted influence over the techniques and the organization of social research.  "It is not so much that he was an American sociologist," one colleague said of him after his death, "as it was that he determined what American sociology would be."  Lazarsfeld said that his goal was “to produce Paul Lazarsfelds."  The two main accomplishments he is associated with can be analyzed within two lenses of analysis: research institutes, methodology, as well as his research content itself.

Bethel Literary and Historical Society: The Bethel Literary and Historical Society was an organization founded in 1881 by African Methodist Episcopal Church Bishop Daniel Payne and continued at least until 1915.

Herbert Blumer: Herbert George Blumer (March 7, 1900 – April 13, 1987) was an American sociologist whose main scholarly interests were symbolic interactionism and methods of social research.  Believing that individuals create social reality through collective and individual action, he was an avid interpreter and proponent of George Herbert Mead’s social psychology, which he labelled 'symbolic interactionism'.  Blumer elaborated and developed this line of thought in a series of articles, many of which were brought together in the book "Symbolic Interactionism".  An ongoing theme throughout his work, he argued that the creation of social reality is a continuous process.  Blumer was also a vociferous critic of positivistic methodological ideas in sociology.
