Sumario:Between 1980 and 1990, Roger Chartier and Robert Darnton created the foundations for a new research program and methodology of the cultural history of book and reading. In recent years, several digital projects that use a very different methodology have appeared and that, within a digital turn, move away from the typographic research paradigm. They work with large amounts of information, use visualizations, are collaborative, include technical professionals as members, incorporate GIS technologies, and publish their results on websites. Their main characteristic is that they constitute complex databases on the books of the past. They achieve many of the goals of the research program created during the 1980s and 1990s and, by using the functionalities and facilities of digital textuality, they show evident advantages. However, its methodological proposal presents some difficulties and challenges, especially to include reading and reception.
