Archivos y documentos en la era digital

Abstract

The paper aims to examine and explore on some of the characteristics of the new digital order. Notably, it focuses on the mutations that affect the concepts of archive and document, as well as its most striking features. Based on the fact that these records are essential for studying the past, it inquires about the consequences of the dematerialization. It examines the meaning of this space in certain dimensions and emphasizes the obvious paradox of preserving and studying objects or data that are ephemeral in nature and that, most of which, were born to die quickly.
