Abstract

The paper is to clarify the different forms of historical materials under the Informatization, to clarify their advantages in contemporary history research, and to explore their forming path, as well as the revolutionary role of information technology in historical research paradigm and research concept. Especially, from the perspective of interdisciplinary research, the paper pays more attention to the changes in the storage form of historical materials caused by the development of communication media in the information age. Immaterial forms of historical materials are an important part of contemporary historical materials, which provides more abundant and diversified research objects and enables historical research to examine the progress of human society from a more comprehensive perspective. This kind of bottom-up research thinking of bifurcated history is able to collect macro and micro historical materials reflecting the contemporary historical process more extensively and comprehensively, which not only reflects the simple change of research route and information transmission sequence, but also represents the new historical research concept and attitude under the background of informatization.
