Abstract

It is considered in this article the relevance of photography to historiography, observing that the use of this visual resource is still too recent and limited. Historians, in spite of accepting the diverse range of document sources, prefer written sources in spite of visual or oral ones. In this sense, it is shown the central role that image plays in contemporary times and its contribution to lead historians to consider the visual dimension of society.
