关于档案、文史资料和数字化资源的价值与利用研究

Research on the Value and Utilization of Archives,Cultural and Historical Materials and Digital Resources

历史研究的基础是史料。档案、史志、文史资料、口述历史、数字化资源等都是不同类型的史料。它们因各自的特点不同,从而价值各异,也决定了其在历史研究中的利用。从整体上来看,档案的真实性相对较高,然而也不排除个别作伪的档案;建国前方志的可信度较强,当然这也需要照顾到个别;文史资料和回忆录等可以持“不可不看,不可全信”的态度,使用时需要多方佐证;数字化资源仅仅是缩短了检索文献的时间,而没有缩减研究者的阅读时间。检索文献时亦需注意“关键词”陷阱。

The historical research is based on historical materials.The archives,historical records,cultural and historical materials,oral history,digital resources are different types of historical materials.They have different values due to their different characteristics,which also determines their utilization in historical research.On the whole,the authenticity of the archives is relatively high,but it does not rule out that individual files are falsified.The credibility of local chronicles before the founding of the People’s Republic of China is basically strong.Of course,this also needs to take into account individual;Cultural and historical materials and memoirs can be used with the attitude that"don’t ignore them,don’t believe them all";Digital resources only shorten the time of literature retrieval,but not the reading time of researchers.The"keyword"trap should also be paid attention to when retrieving literature.
