摘要：At the centre of attention in local history - as an academicfield and as a passion - is the local community. But what is a localcommunity? As a concept, it rests somewhere between the 'ethnicgroup' of anthropologists and cultural historians, and the 'neighbourhood'of social geographers. We often understand it as a geographicallybounded area, within which residents have more political, administrative,and social contact with each other than they have with others. Thisarticle argues that life online needs to be taken into account when writinglocal history, discusses local communities online, and whether localcommunities may be born digitally.
