DOCUMENTARY INVESTIGATIONS
Historians investigate from historical facts and records left by our ancestors. They collect data from a large number of bibliographic sources that they analyze and interpret. The historical knowledge of science allows us to discover the unknown, knowing the past gives us a better perspective of the present and allows us to benefit from it. In this research, the Departments of the Scientific-Technological Fields and Social-Humanistic of our IES, we find a starting point in science.
