內容

　　民國十八至卅二年間，中央研究院歷史語言研究所的研究人員，曾多次長期深入中國南方、西南與東北地區進行民族調查，詳盡蒐集大批文物、文書、田野照片等文物予以保存。本計畫即是以這批資料做為核心，透過數位化的過程，將這些檔案予以永久保存並廣泛利用。
　　在第一個五年期計畫裡，本計畫已完成大部分典藏品之數位化工作，並且建置入口網站—「村寨網」以及典藏資料庫—「中國西南少數民族資料庫」。在邁入第二期計畫之後，本計劃工作除了延續上一期的文書編目與內容大要譯解，擴增西南少數民族簡介網頁外，主要將在原有基礎上發展三個核心主題：「早期中國西南邊疆研究調查者網頁」、「參考資料庫」及「民族學調查資料之時空資訊系統」。此三個主題，分別由「人」及「文獻」、「地」三方面，呈現近代中國西南邊疆的少數民族化過程，以及在此過程中史語所及其早期研究人員所扮演的角色。我們將「村寨網」做為歷史學、人類學之中國西南民族研究之溝通交流園地，透過分享關於中國西南少數民族、人類學與民族學的通俗化文章，推廣「民族」、「歷史」與「文化」的新知。
　　本計劃成員透過重訪本所早年西南民族調查路線，蒐集、拍攝相關影像、影片，並採訪口述記憶資料，此新資料有助於增進本所原典藏資料之價值，呈現近代歷史變化之縱深。本計畫也建置村寨網之英文版網頁，以增進本網站及其資料庫的國際化內涵，促進國際合作。

Content

From 1929 to 1943, the researchers at the Institute of History and Philology, Academia Sinica, made many extended trips to China’s southern, southwestern, and northeastern regions to conduct in-depth ethnological investigations. They collected and brought back large amounts of artifacts, documents, and field photographs, which they carefully preserved. The mission of this project is to convert these precious items into digital format for permanent preservation and wide application.
During our first “five-year period,” we have completed the digitalization of most of our collection, and created the portal website “Villages”, as well as a digital archive called the “Digital Archives of Minorities in Southwestern China”. Once we enter the second stage of this program, in addition to continuing with the previous period’s tasks of cataloguing books and scripts, summarizing and interpreting their contents, and finishing our website on southwestern China’s various ethnic minorities, we will expand several core projects based on what we already have—a webpage on the early researchers of China’s southwestern borders; a database of reference materials, and the ethnological investigation Geographic information system.These three projects will present the process of nationalization for ethnic minorities in contemporary southwestern China and the roles that IHP and its researchers played in the context of “people” ,“document” and “region”, respectively.We are positioning the portal website “Villages”, as a medium for communication and exchange for historical and anthropological research on China’s southwestern minorities. At the same time, through the simple and easy-to-understand contents of our webpage, we hope to popularize all of the latest knowledge and information that we have on ethnology, history, and culture.
Our team will revisit southwestern China by tracing the routes that the researchers of IHP took in those early days and gather first- and second-hand photographs, videos, and oral interview records. These newly-acquired materials increase the overall value of our collection, and show the changes in modern and contemporary history. Another important component of this program is the construction of an English version of our website, which will useful to globalize the website and its database, and promote international collaboration.

Description

The Mission Statements of this Program:
1. To permanently preserve Institute of History and Philology’s collection of items related to Chinese southwestern minorities in order to provide the academic world with high-quality digital resources, and the Internet, software, publishing, and other related cultural industries with a wealth of usable knowledge.
2. To increase the exchanging of visuals, documents, and artifacts related to China’s southwestern ethnic minorities between both local and global institutes and organizations, focusing mainly on our Chinese Southwestern Minorities website and Digital Archives Database and Management System. The program will follow international regulations and create an appropriate format that will be used to compile related international resources for academic research and general education.
3. To establish an international forum for academic exchange and discussion on topics related to ethnic minorities in southwestern China based on the articles and images on our website and in our archives. The purpose of this is to promote the knowledge gained from historical and anthropological research to the general public, which will take mankind closer to the goal of social harmony and racial equality.
