That point being conceded, I’m going to offer another one: historians don’t like computers much either. There are all sorts of reasons, some historical, some cultural, for why this is so. But the fundamental reason, I think, rests on the mental map most of us have when we think about computation. Put simply, it lies on the periphery of the fundamental tasks – be they in research and analysis, or teaching and communication – that we identify with being historians. Most of us have nothing against computing, per se. It just isn’t relevant to what many of us conceive to be the proper tasks of scholars who deem themselves to be humanists.

Tel que le décrit le site Web de BAC: « À Bibliothèque et Archives Canada (BAC), modernisation rime avec transformation. Auparavant, BAC donnait la priorité à l’acquisition et à la préservation de documents analogiques : imprimés, films, bandes vidéo, vinyles et autres formats non numériques, et il accordait un accès limité à ces ressources. Maintenant, il vise le libre accès de l’ensemble de la société au patrimoine documentaire du Canada. Les progrès réalisés en communications et en technologies de l’information offrent des possibilités formidables, et les points d’accès de BAC doivent changer pour en tenir compte. » Wed, 08 Jan 2020 20:08:27 GMT
