Chow和我們香港史研究中心的Ryan Iu整理並介紹了有助探索早期殖民地香港歷史這段豐富時期的數碼平台。 如果你對這段時期的香港歷史感興趣,或者正在學習和研究相關議題,推薦你閱讀以下這篇文章。 Digital Humanities Approaches to Navigating the Early Colonial Hong Kong History (Scroll down for English version) **** 節錄: //近年來,早期殖民地香港的研究開始積極參與發展涵蓋各種歷史主題的數碼人文項目。學者,尤其是專注於早期殖民地香港歷史的歷史學家,已利用計算工具和線上數據庫的力量,對數碼學術作出重大貢獻,增進研究、教學,甚至視覺呈現。這些努力設法改善觀察並產生新的實證證據,同時還嘗試將學術信息轉移到公眾歷史領域。在這篇短文中,我們希望提供有關早期殖民地香港歷史的數碼人文工具、數據庫和計劃的簡介概覽(從英國香港的建立到二戰期間日本佔領為止)。這個概覽旨在為對這個領域感興趣的初學者提供資源指南。所介紹的計劃將分為三個主要類別:遙距閱讀的文本數據庫,地理信息系統(GIS)和社會網絡研究。// 以下為介紹的計劃(詳細介紹請點進上面鏈結閱讀): 【遙距閱讀的文本數據庫】 The Hong Kong Government Reports Online(1842-1941) | (Earlier Version) Hong Kong Government Reports Online(1842-1941) | (Later Version) Colonial Office correspondence collection (CO 129) | (Subscription Required) Old Hong Kong Newspapers Collection 【地理信息系統】 Hong Kong Historic Maps Hong Kong Historical GIS (1900 to 1933)
