historical violence database
オハイオ大学で「historical violence database」という企画が動いているようです。歴史学も、そろそろ大規模な共同研究やプロジェクトの時代に入ってくるのでしょうか。
Project: Our goal is to create a collaborative database on the history of violent crime, violent death, and collective violence from medieval times to the present. Historians, social scientists, and genealogists must work together if we are to gather enough data to allow researchers to describe accurately the history of violence. No single researcher or group of researchers can examine enough sources in enough jurisdictions to achieve that goal. We are confident, however, that an ongoing, collaborative effort can.
