Introduction: Fifty Years of Interdisciplinary History, 1970–2020 With this volume, the Journal of Interdisciplinary History concludes its fiftieth year of publication. In order to celebrate and demonstrate how interdisciplinary scholarship has flourished and evolved over five decades, we commissioned essays by members of our board of editors and long-time collaborators on their special fields of expertise. Michael McCormick’s “Climates of History, Histories of Climate: From History to Archaeoscience” and Peter Temin’s “Words and Numbers: A New Approach to Writing Ancient History” appeared in the inaugural issue. The second installment had Anne Hardy’s “The Under-Appreciated Rat and Other Under-Appreciated Rodents: Harbingers of Plague from the Black Death to Twenty-First-Century America”; Steven A. Epstein’s “Environmental History in the JIH, 1970–2020”; and Peter A. Coclanis’ “Field Notes: Agricultural History’s New Plot.” The third issue of the fiftieth volume included George C. Alter’s “The Evolution of Models in Historical Demography” and Steven Ruggles and Diana L. Magnuson’s “The History of Quantification in History: The JIH as a Case Study.” The series concludes in this issue with E. Anthony Wrigley’s “The Interplay of Demographic, Economic, and Social History”; Myron P. Gutmann’s “Quantifying Interdisciplinary History— The Record of (Nearly) Fifty Years of the JIH”; Anne E. C. McCants’ “Economic History and the Historians”; and Peter Burke’s “Art and History, 1969–2019.” Sir Anthony has been an active contributor to the JIH since its first volumes; his pioneering work greatly influenced our founding and our immediate attention then and continuing throughout to population reconstitution and demographic methods more broadly. Burke’s essay affirms cofounding editor Theodore K. Rabb’s concern to bring interdisciplinary humanities disciplines into the JIH’s orbit together with those of a more scientific, medical, and social-scientific bent. The 50th Year: Introduction

简介：跨学科历史五十年，1970-2020年

简介：跨学科历史五十年，1970–2020年跨学科历史杂志结束了其五十周年的出版。为了庆祝和展示跨学科奖学金在过去的五十年中的繁荣和发展，我们委托编辑委员会成员和长期合作者就其专业领域发表论文。迈克尔·麦考密克（Michael McCormick）的“历史的气候，气候的历史：从历史到考古学”和彼得·特敏（Peter Temin）的“单词与数字：书写古代历史的新方法”出现在首期杂志上。第二部分是安妮·哈迪的《被低估的老鼠和其他被低估的啮齿动物：从黑死病到二十一世纪美国的瘟疫预兆》。史蒂文·A·爱泼斯坦（Steven A. Epstein）的《 JIH中的环境史》，1970–2020”；和彼得·科克拉尼斯（Peter A. Coclanis）的“田野笔记：农业历史的新图”。第五十卷的第三期包括George C. Alter的“历史人口统计学中模型的演变”以及Steven Ruggles和Diana L. Magnuson的“历史量化历史：以JIH为例的研究”。该系列以E. Anthony Wrigley的“人口，经济和社会历史的相互作用”作为本期文章的结尾。迈伦·古特曼（Myron P. Gutmann）的“量化跨学科历史-JIH（近50年）的记录”；Anne EC McCants的“经济史和历史学家”；和彼得·伯克（Peter Burke）的“艺术与历史，1969–2019”。自JIH发行以来，安东尼爵士一直是其积极的贡献者。他的开创性工作极大地影响了我们的创立和当时的关注，并在更广泛的范围内继续影响着人口重建和人口统计方法。伯克（Burke）的文章肯定了联合创始人西奥多·拉布（Theodore K. Rabb）的关注，他希望将跨学科的人文学科与更具科学性，医学性和社会科学性的学科一起带入JIH的轨道。50周年：简介
