Technological changes have opened up new opportunities for historical research, which call for new methodologies to fully realise these opportunities. This paper presents the four-step interactive photo timeline analysis we developed to analyse large volumes of historical photographs from both a quantitative and qualitative perspective. We present the results of a case study (regarding both street design and street use in Vienna from 1860 to 1949) in which we utilised interactive photo timeline analysis. The geographical research scope was limited to the streets around the Vienna Opera: street use and street design were analysed from the perspective of the street as transportation space and as urban living space. The development of the interactive photo timeline analysis methodology and the case study analysis benefited greatly from the interdisciplinary nature of the research team.

在维也纳大街上：1860 年至 1949 年维也纳国家歌剧院周围街道用途和街道设计的变化

技术变革为历史研究开辟了新的机遇，这就需要新的方法论来充分实现这些机遇。本文介绍了我们开发的四步交互式照片时间线分析，用于从定量和定性角度分析大量历史照片。我们展示了一个案例研究的结果（关于 1860 年至 1949 年维也纳的街道设计和街道使用），其中我们利用了交互式照片时间线分析。地理研究范围仅限于维也纳歌剧院周围的街道：从街道作为交通空间和城市生活空间的角度分析街道使用和街道设计。
