Università Roma Tre

The course builds knowledge and skills starting from the exegesis of sources for historical research: the impact of digitization on documentation originating in the pre-computer age and that of digital native documents on source critique is its focus.
A second argument will be related to the management of digital documentation from its origin to its becoming as a cultural food and as historical documentation.
The students will acquire knowledge to deal with historical research through the analysis of the document in the context of information systems, dissemination on the web, consultation and its limits. They will therefore be able to tackle a project of study, digitization and enhancement of documentary resources, within the framework of the critical issues related to the conservation and integrity of the digitized and digital document. They will access documentary sources also through the use of digital descriptive resources; will address the question of the interpretation of sources according to a methodology starting from their contextualization in the archives of origin. They will acquire the tools for their full interpretation in independent judgment. They will also know the reordering criteria of the documentation and therefore of their description, fundamental elements of a correct exegesis.
Finally, they will address the issues of historical and archival disclosure, refining communication skills through logical and lexical rigor.
