摘 要
彰化縣文化局從2005年開始出版的「大家來寫村史」系列，至今已有多達36冊的成果問世，本文即以這套叢書作為研究的材料，首先是各冊主題的介紹與章節的摘錄。每冊的共同點是議題十分多元，且文句通暢淺近，又能配合眾多的圖片，適合村民閱讀與典藏。在各冊所論述的村里／區域在彰化縣內的分佈情況方面，關於員林的冊數最多，與康原在當地社區大學任教，鼓舞村史寫作風氣有關，其他各冊有許多也集中在講述各鄉鎮最熱鬧的街區。在作者群方面，雖然大部分不是科班出身，可是所寫出來的作品都具有一定的水準。本文也提出了一些可供參考的意見，例如主題應該集中、論述時序不應有斷裂與空白、遣詞用句應要求正確性與邏輯性、標點符號與校對應更加注意以及可多加利用數位資料庫等。除了這些技術性的問題之外，本文認為有兩項更為核心的要點：第一、作者可以不用是村民，但心中要時時有村民。第二、如果村民喜歡讀，外村人也可能喜歡；如果村民們不喜歡讀，外村人絕無喜歡的理由。正如連橫在〈台灣通史序〉所提到的撰寫史料所要面對的兩項困難：「斷簡殘編，蒐羅匪易，郭公夏五，疑信相參，則徵文難；老成凋謝，莫可諮詢，巷議街談，事多不實，則考獻難」，透過村史的撰述，讓村內的「斷簡殘編」得以獲得保存，而耆老們亦能將其珍貴的記憶化為永恆，這是非常具有意義的的活動，值得繼續進行與推廣。

Abstract
This paper is studying on the “Everyone Writes History” series, which was published by Cultural Affairs Bureau of Changhua County in 2005. The series have reached 36 volumes being presented to public up to now.
In the first part of this paper, the subject introduction and paragraph excerpts of each volume are included. All volumes of “Everyone Writes History” series feature with diverse issues, simple language and abundant illustrations, which is suitable for villager to read and collect.
In terms of the frequency of each region being discussed, there are the most volumes about Yuanlin Township, where famous author, Kang Yuan, teaches in local community university and arouses writing tendency to villages’ history. In addition, the more prosperous a region, the more often it described and introduced in the series.
In terms of the authors, though most of them aren’t graduated from department of history, their works are considered with fixed quality. However, this paper also gives some suggestion: concentrate on certain subject; avoid fracture when describing order of time; use accurate words and punctuation;proofread carefully; make the most use of digital databases. Besides those technical problems, there is a significant point, “authors must be thoughtful to residents”. If the series can’t be read or liked by the local residents, there are no reasons that other people would like. The history restoration activities by writing “Everyone Writes History” series are priceless. Through coordination fragmentary historical data, the ancestors’ memory is able to reappear on the papers and become eternity. As a result, the meaningful activities should keep going and widely spread.
