About the use of Digital Resources for the Research and Teaching of Modern History

The aim of this paper is to analyze the use of digital resources in two usually separate fields that, according to the authors, should be better imbricated: historical research and the teaching of History. In the first part, we describe an array of digitized archival material which, if properly used in different teaching contexts, could contribute to a more complex understanding of History by the students. The second section focuses on digital resources conceived for teaching, and specifically those related with the Early Modern period, through a quantitative analysis of the material stored in some of the most used educational repositories.
