Abstract
Uno de los problemas fundamentales para la investigación histórica con objetos digitales se relaciona con su interpretación. A las problemáticas sobre la preservación de los objetos digitales ya consideradas, especialmente por la archivística, hay que agregar las cuestiones relacionadas con el análisis de colecciones digitales sin curaduría, semiestructuradas, parciales, etc. Partiendo de una conocida definición de objetos digitales que propone pensar sus capas física, lógica y conceptual (K. Thibodeu), el artículo discute las implicancias para el análisis histórico de esas consideraciones a partir de casos concretos, con colecciones de objetos digitales diversas en su extensión y propósitos: logs de chats y colecciones enormes como la de Geocities.com.
One of the fundamental problems for historical research that employs digital objects is how these latter should be interpreted. In addition to issues relating to the preservation of digital objects, already covered by archival science in the main, there are also questions around the analysis of digital collections without curation, or that are semi-structured, partial, etc. Departing from a well-known definition of digital objects that proposes to think about their physical, logical and conceptual layers (K Thibodeu), this article discusses the implications of said definition for the historical analysis of digital objects on the basis of concrete cases, using collections of digital objects of differing volume and purpose: chat logs and huge collections such as Geocities.com.
