The increasing importance of studies of memory creates the new context for historians and their researches, defined often as the “crisis of history”. During the last two decades we observe anxiously how the memory, which has caused “the acceleration” and “the democratization of the history”, is also a source of the new social and political conflicts. This is why we should rethink the historian’s role and place on the contemporary public stage and ask for the possible options for history in “the age of memory”. One of these options is to rethink once again the methodological background of the non-classical history. The other one is to specify the methodology of “the history of memory”. In both cases we should restore the social meaning of the history as the critical discourse of the past.
