Workshop to Survey Astronomical Events from Historical Document: Inclusion of (Other) Field

The workshop to search for candidates for astronomical phenomena from historical documents, was held from 2016. In order to succeed in joint research between astronomy and history, it is important to respect each other’s fields, and when we actually got to know each other’s fields, we realized that a commonality is that research is being conducted in collaboration with not only professional researchers but also citizens. This common premise is thought to have made the workshop work well, and we can expect it to develop into a new form of citizen science.
