Information-communication technologies entered all spheres of life with the computer technology development in the 1960s and 70s and later with the rise of the Internet. Historians, along with research in other humanities, make use of computer methods and technologies in their studies. At the crossroads of history and computer science, a new interdisciplinary research area, historical informatics, emerged. In our country, this term was intro-duced in the early 1990s by L. I. Borodkin.1 Areas of historical informatics include: electronic publication of historical sources; development of historical databases and thematic internet resources; historical geographic information systems; virtual 3D reconstruction of cultural heritage; use of computerized methods and techniques to analyze statistical, structured, text, graphic, audiovisual, and other sources; computer modeling of historical processes; as well as the creation of special software and information technology in historical education (including on-line training).
