La lectura del pasado: el oficio del historiador

Abstract

Camarena sustains that primary sources are the raw material of researchers to understand a historical moment. Historians face the problem of understanding society based on the memory preserved found in archives. Materials should be worked from a historical perspective, locating them in time and space. Researchers who come in contact with them build their own interpretations with their subject matter with imagination and common sense to understand the social actors of a historical period.
