Abstract
It reflects on the need to recover the historical knowledge to help support the Library and Information Science (LIS). It is assumed that historical research in LIS has been gradually sidelined because research has increased regarding current issues of a technological nature. To restore the historical dimension in LIS analyzed the correlation between history and the documents within the library context. Thus shows that the documents are the product of historical development and therefore this recognition of the historicity contained therein contributes to value from the historical angle the content of documents. All this must be a reason to recover both the human basis of the LIS.Downloads
