Resumen:
The appropriation of the technologies by the humanities has led to discussions for the development of an emerging field called Digital Humanities. In this context, the Casa de Rui Barbosa Foundation, through the Centro de Memória e Informação, disseminates its memorial and
institutional collection through the use of technologies. This article aims to verify how the Foundation implements the concept of Digital Humanities. For this, a bibliographical research was carried out in order to define and characterize the field of Digital Humanities. It is a case study that
verified the products offered by the Foundation for the dissemination of content using technologies. It is noticed that the initiatives of institutions of memory and research linked to the Digital Humanities, such as the Foundation, are important for the consolidation of this new field, as it
promotes access, preservation, creation of new knowledge and technological innovation. The Digital Humanities Laboratory of the Centro de Memória e Informação has been developing research and actions aimed at implementing a digital culture among researchers of the institution in the fields related to social sciences, applied social sciences and human sciences, enabling the application and expansion of the Meaning of Digital Humanities for society. In this way, the Foundation intends to raise discussions and contribute to the construction of a concept in Digital Humanities.
