摘要	Digital historical archival research is the systematic investigation of the past using digitized primary sources held in online repositories, digital archives, and electronic databases. It combines the interpretive principles of traditional historical archival research with digital tools for search, retrieval, text mining, and visualization, enabling researchers to access geographically dispersed collections, apply computational analysis to large corpora, and reconstruct historical events, processes, and social phenomena from preserved primary evidence.	The oral history method is a qualitative research approach in which researchers conduct in-depth, recorded interviews with individuals who have direct personal experience of a historical event, social process, or community life. It captures subjective perspectives, memory, and lived experience that written records rarely preserve, making it indispensable for recovering voices absent from official archives — particularly those of marginalised communities, minority groups, and ordinary people.
