摘要
数字历史是西方史学界自20世纪80年代起随着计算机信息技术的发展而兴起的一种史学新潮。数字历史大致经历了文献数字化、自主创建历史专题和三维虚拟环境再现等几个发展阶段。数字历史虽起源于计量史学,但不囿于计量史学单一的数理统计,而是力图复原多维连续动态的可视化历史。其最大的优势,不在于快速存储、查询和利用文献数据,而在于将各种不同的数据置于同一时空维度下,清晰地表达历史要素在时间和空间序列变动中的相互关系与互动作用。数字历史在汇聚资料、分析数据和成果展示方面,对历史研究工作已产生了潜移默化的影响,特别是超文本的书写方式,对传统纯文本历史研究的冲击颇大。
With the development of Computer Information Technology,Digital History has become one of the most important new trends of Western historical studies since the 1980 s,It has passed through three important phases;to photocopy documents;to design and make history program;to reconstruct 3D Virtual Space.Although Digital History originated from Econometric History,it is not limited within mathematic statistics and symbolic logic.Its main aim is to reconstruct multidimensional dynamic history.The biggest predominance of Digital History is not to store,search and use the data,but to dispose different kinds of data into the same spatio-temporal dimensionality,and to recover and represent the reciprocal relationships and interactions among different historical factors.Digital History has had a subtle influence for historians,not only on the work mode for collecting and dealing with the historical data,but the method of history writing,and hyper-text form such as map,photo,and video.It will become more and more important in the productions of history studies in the 21^(st) century.
