内容简介

数字时代的到来使得人文大数据越来越容易获得，这即是令人振奋的新途径的开启，同时也是新的挑战。探索大历史数据，使得研究者首先面临一个巨大的语料库，本书即是针对这一问题，描述和演示通过搜索数据进而构建文化遗产知识、研究、教学和学习的方式：我们如何使用它们？要提防什么？本书开辟了新的宏观视角，有助于人文学者掌握大数据来做他们的工作。

Shawn Graham trained in Roman archaeology but has become over the years a digital archaeologist and digital humanist. In 2016 he won a Provost’s Fellowship in Teaching Award and was designated a Carleton University Teaching Fellow. He recently won a SSHRC Insight Grant for a project called ‘The Bone Trade: Studying the Online Trade in Human Remains with Machine Learning and Neural Networks’. The project website is at bonetrade.github.io. He has funding to support MA students on that project and would be delighted to hear from prospective students.

He keeps an open lab notebook of his research and experiments in digital history and archaeology at his research blog, www.electricarchaeology.ca.

He is founder and editor of the open access journal, Epoiesen: A Journal for Creative Engagement in History and Archaeology.

His teaching explores historical methods and digital history at all levels, including seminars in the collaborative MA Digital Humanities program (see for instance DHCU.ca) as well as in the MA Public History program.

He was a faculty member at the NEH funded Institute on Digital Archaeology Method and Practice at Michigan State University. His sessions focussed on augmented reality for archaeology, and how to fail productively in digital work:
