Abstract

History is about reconstructing experiences, records, and memories and thus investigating the meaning of human existence. History is recently setting up unpredictable and brand-new challenges for historians and their endeavour, the Digital History Era, in which exciting new tools are revolutionizing the way researching used to be conducted in the past. A unique quantitative approach along with brand new tools for reference sourcing is now pushing historians to redesign their working methods when it comes to seeking pieces of information within the archives.
