This work explores how digital images have become a central element for societies to remember and document their histories, cultures, and identities. The increasing accessibility in generating digital images allows institutions and individuals to create extensive visual collections. By digitizing fragile physical materials, resources susceptible to damage are protected, and remote exploration is facilitated, configuring a dynamic memory that can be updated and reorganized. These image repositories not only preserve memories but also contribute to collective memory, enabling communities to share, reinterpret, and rewrite their histories. Additionally, new methodologies for data analysis and visualization, such as data mining and virtual reality, are discussed, allowing interactive reconstructions of historical and cultural contexts, expanding the reach and diversity of these archives.
