Technology and history had been together since a long time, but as professional historians, just in very few occasions we think in the relationship of reality, technology and our craft. This essay attempt to give some insights in how historical analysis can be done with sources that are unconventional. As historians we are used to read written sources, photos are only for illustrate our works but, what will happen if we actually read photos as sources on their own? How do we do that? Taken this reflection as a point of departure this text will rotate around three topics: State terrorism, photography and memory.
