Digital technology is increasingly used to provide access to documentary heritage, but this activity leads to changes in how documents are understood and handled. Starting from the observation that the conceptual and practical changes triggered by digital technology in the Memory of the World do not seem to accurately reflect its stated philosophy, this research pursues the aim to critically analyze the possibilities and limits it offers.
