西南联大研究的史料与视野问题

Use of historical data and perspectives in the researches on the Southwest Associated University

西南联大研究史料的挖掘和整理成绩斐然,但在地方系统档案的挖掘以及已挖掘出的一些特殊史料的整理出版等方面,还有明显的不足。在西南联大的史料使用上,有的研究对史料较为重视,能较为全面地挖掘利用各类史料;有的研究则忽视了史料,或对史料使用不当出现失误。在西南联大研究视野上,首先要拓展史料挖掘和整理的空间,重视云南地方系统的隐性史料和普通师生相关史料的挖掘整理,并加强已挖掘出史料整理出版工作。其次,要扩大研究的领域,要着力于研究西南联大对云南以及中国现代学术体系的贡献,重视西南联大的多学科研究;关注西南联大普通师生的研究。如此,较为全面地解析西南联大真正的价值与贡献,将西南联大研究推进到新的高度。

The use of historical data in the researches on the Southwest Associated University has made much progress but the use of the local archives or some special ones is far from satisfaction.Quite a few misunderstandings or misinterpretations are related to the ignorance of some historical data.Thus,the perspectives in this field should be oriented to a wider exploration with a focus on the local data and the students and teachers in this university,and then a broader vision with a focus on this university＇s contribution to Yunnan and to the modern academic research of China as well as its multidisciplinary vision.Only in this way can we have a better understanding of this university and promote the related studies.
