Abstract

The disciplinary relations between Information Science and cultural heritage are explored in the context of the digital revolution. This relation goes beyond the instrumental character that Information Science has for almost any other discipline, as the very purpose of documentation is to preserve and make accessible the cultural heritage in its different aspects. As the technical aspects of information management, processing and retrieval are absorbed by the technologists, specially by the computer scientists, the core reference of Information Science to the non-material aspects of cultural heritage —including scientifi c heritage— is becoming one of the rising stars in the horizon of the discipline, specially around the concept of social memory
