| Sumario: | Digital discussion boards, also known as message boards, are an interesting case of a tool that has adapted to the emergence of new technological structures and became part of the web since its beginnings, maintaining its popularity to this day. From this panorama, this paper aims to reflect about the methodological challenges of analyzing history discussion boards, taking into account their historicity, as well as the structure that enables discussions among users. Elaborating a methodological strategy for research with digital forums involves, in this sense, the need to reflect about their materiality, changed in the archiving process, and about the possibility of combining qualitative as well as quantitative analysis, since discussions are often evaluated in real time by their participants. |
