「讀墓」研究計畫\verb|\cite{streiter2008building,streiter2010thakbong}|，旨於以數位人文資訊系統及語料庫記錄台灣墓碑，目前已累積570餘天的田野工作，資料庫中收錄來自超過七百座墓園，六萬五千萬多座墳墓的二十二多萬張照片，每張皆附有GPS資訊。當大多數的墓已被本計畫透過照片作為記錄，但對於古墓而言，多數已經遺失而不可尋。本研究有時引用透過前人的數位化檔案與較早之前的文件、文章，主要的資訊來源為：\verb|\cite{zhufeng53,Shiyangwei53,linhengdao69,shiwanshou75}|大多數明代的墓碑記錄文件是在上一個世代被錄下來，但非常遺憾的是，這些資料並沒有影像的紀錄，因此是不完整，有些甚至模糊且前後不一致。 While most tombs have been documented through photos that we have taken, the oldest tombstones, many of them are lost, are sometimes documented through digitized versions of previous documentations in archives and articles. Main sources of information are: \verb|\cite{zhufeng53,Shiyangwei53,linhengdao69,shiwanshou75}|. Most of these Ming tombstone documentations created by previous generations have unfortunately been made without a photographic record and are thus essentially incomplete, vague and sometimes inconsistent.\footnote{\verb|\cite{zhufeng53}| \textbf{Tombstone 7 and its equivalent \verb|\cite{shiwanshou75}| Tombstone 23 differ by the absence or presence of the character 「門」. \verb|\cite{zhufeng53}| Tombstone 10 and its equivalent \verb|\cite{shiwanshou75}| Tombstone 62 differ by the absence or presence of the character 「考」. \verb|\cite{zhufeng53}| Tombstone 19 and 22 are not included by \verb|\cite{shiwanshou75}|.} \textbf{Redocumenting them in a digital format allows us to extract those features which can reliably be used to identify newly found tombstones as Ming tombstones.}} \textbf{The total number of tombs included in this study are listed in 表一, sorted according to the 年號.{
