中国科学院三个科技史项目中的技术史研究

Studies in the History of Technology in Three Projects of Chinese Academy of Sciences

１９９0年代以来，先后有三个科学技术史项目在中国科学院立项，并由自然科学史研究所组织实施。《中国科学技术史》丛书主要由学科史构成，包括１１卷技术史专著。“中国传统技术综合研究”下设两个项目，一是《中国古代工程技术史大系》，一个是《中国传统工艺全集》。《全集》着重对古代流传下来的传统工艺细节进行调查、抢救和整理。“中国近现代科学技术发展综合研究”分为３个课题；专题研究；资料选辑与工具书；资料中心和数据库。以上三个项目在目标、内容、方法等方面都有差异。中国技术史研究领域还存在不少问题。
