The article is devoted to methodological and theoretical problems that have recently arisen at the junction of history and new technologies. History has started to use profusely the categories of memory and narration, and a wider meaning is given to the notion 'historical source'. The new media involve their users more and more widely in the processes of creating virtual messages and an authentic 'digital revolution' in 'producing historical knowledge' has become a much discussed topic. The authoress wonders how these changes influence the role of a historian and the shape of contemporary science.

The study points to various examples from Europe of varied and rather scandalous relationships between the historian and the historical source. Political aims and absence of historical self-reflection are usually hidden behind them. Slovak experience is no better in this area. It includes a whole series of negative examples of both older and very recent cases. One of the new trends is the continuing superficial publication of sources. Absence of theoretical consideration of the methodological questions of historiography still persists. Texts remain on the empirical level and do not progress towards generalization. In conclusion, the German example shows how to productively work with sources, and how this can harmonize theoretical findings with examples from practice.
