Historiographical practices supported by digital objects contributions from Digital History

This article aims to highlight and analyze new practices in historical research, which prioritize the transformation of written physical documents into digital objects. This discussion is based on Digital History, reflecting on the incorporation of digital technologies, which emerges as a theoretical framework for analyzing and understanding digital files and sources as historical records. There are storage spaces for digital objects, characterized as digital repositories, which constitute environments suitable for storing documents. An example is the Book by Ramon Roca Dordal, available in the Digital Content Repository of the Federal University of Santa Catarina. It is possible to infer that the digital object is available in a reliable location that favors the long-term availability of sources, given traces of the digital curation stages and that working with digital sources also becomes possible through software such as Zotero and Tropy.
