“…Various scholars indicate that numerous new digital scholarship jobs have invaded the library space in the dawn of the 4IR, which are duties performed by both digital scholarship librarians and digital humanists [ 5 , 20 , [24] , [25] , [26] , [27] ]. The opportunities brought to the LIS profession, specifically the digital scholarship librarianship, are mainly drawn from both digital humanities and digital librarianship [ 5 ].…”

“…16 Given this and more (the list is far from exhaustive), it would be safe to say that if history and historians didn't embark upon a supposed epistemological revolution, it's clear that they would not be immune to these changes. 17 Relational databases or Geographic Information Systems (GIS), software considered revolutionary when applied to history two decades ago, are nowadays quite common work tools for a lot of historians, albeit often used in an indirect manner and with the help of computer technicians. Perhaps the current trend for these two tools would be to try and find systems or methodologies that would allow to better deal with the narrative aspect of history.…”

As an introduction to a series of articles focused on the exploration of particular tools and/or methods to bring together digital technology and historical research, the aim of this paper is mainly to highlight and discuss in what measure those methodological approaches can contribute to improve analytical and interpretative capabilities available to historians. In a moment when the digital world present us with an ever-increasing variety of tools to perform extraction, analysis and visualization of large amounts of text, we thought it would be relevant to bring the digital closer to the vast historical academic community. More than repeating an idea of digital revolution introduced in the historical research, something recurring in the literature since the 1980s, the aim was to show the validity and usefulness of using digital tools and methods, as another set of highly relevant tools that the historians should consider. For this several case studies were used, combining the exploration of specific themes of historical knowledge and the development or discussion of digital methodologies, in order to highlight some changes and challenges that, in our opinion, are already affecting the historians' work, such as a greater focus given to interdisciplinarity and collaborative work, and a need for the form of communication of historical knowledge to become more interactive.
