The article is devoted to methodological and theoretical problems that have recently arisen at the junction of history and new technologies. History has started to use profusely the categories of memory and narration, and a wider meaning is given to the notion “historical source”. The new media involve their users more and more widely in the processes of creating virtual messages and an authentic “digital revolution” in “producing historical knowledge” has become a much discussed topic. The author wonders how these changes influence the role of a historian and the shape of contemporary science.
