Historical Information Systems — Историко-ориентированные информационные системы

This website is a catalog containing over 1,200 historical information systems in various languages, spanning from the 1990s to the mid-2010s, along with more than 500 related publications, including research on these systems and the broader topic of historical information systems. The project was completed in 2015, and in 2021, a monograph was published based on an in-depth analysis of the resources collected throughout the project.

The website is part of the project "Historical Information Systems: Methodological, Theoretical, and Practical Problems of Development and Use," supported by the Russian Foundation for Basic Research (RFBR), grant no. 13-06-00655.

The project aims to comprehensively study the methodological, theoretical, and practical aspects of developing historical information systems, which are key components in historical research today.

The project includes:

Cataloging existing historical information systems.
Analyzing methodological approaches and technological foundations.
Creating a classification scheme for these systems and defining their role in historical research.
Developing models, algorithms, and guidelines for the creation and use of these systems.
Evaluating their application in various historical studies and forming recommendations for their integration into research and education.

Results will be shared through scientific publications, conferences, and a monograph, contributing to the advancement of history-oriented resources.

The project was conducted with RFBR support, grant no. 13-06-00655, initially by the Center for Digital Humanities at PSU until 2019 and later until 2021 by the HSE Faculty of Social Sciences and Humanities in Perm.
