Abstract
El mundo se hace digital y con ello los documentos, fuentes de
información para la historia. Nuevos soportes y medios cuya conservación
permanente no está asegurada, lo que ha llevado a predecir la venida
de una Edad Oscura Digital, en la que se disiparían la mayoría de
las fuentes para la historia. En ese contexto se analiza la presencia del
historiador en el debate, las nuevas formas de hacer historia —que podrían
peligrar— y se pretende vislumbrar el futuro de los documentos
digitales como materia prima para la historia.
The world becomes digital and its documents become information sources for history. The permanent conservation of new media outlets and supporting platforms is by no means assured. The possibility of their disappearance has led many to predict the coming of a Digital Dark Age in which the majority of sources used for the historical study would disappear. Given this context, we analyse the historian’s presence in this debate and the new ways of practicing history that could be jeopardized. This article offers a glimpse into the future of digital documents as raw material for history.
