Abstract
In the digital age, the Humanities and Social Sciences have undergone major changes, affecting the tools, practices and methods specific to each discipline. The digital revolution is similar to that of the Renaissance and the printing press. In history, historians have had to review their epistemological and theoretical concepts. The relationship with sources and heuristic questions have also undergone profound changes. The notion of "digital history" is challenging the certainties of historians in the face of our societies' new need for historical truth and the predominance of memory. Historians need to look to the foundations of their profession. Without this awareness, the digital revolution could compromise their ability to reconstruct the past and limit the fundamental dimension of historical science: the search for the self that the historian's workshop offers to humanity.
