This interview arose from a demand of the discipline of Public History, Historical Narratives and Vectors of Memory, taught by Professor Dr. Viviane Trindade Borges, in the Postgraduate Program in History at the State University of Santa Catarina. Its starting point was the relations and interconnections between Public History, Digital History and History as a field of research, dissemination and interaction between the public, the researcher, and the new forms of research in the field of Digital History. To this end, the teacher and researcher Daniela Linkevicius de Andrade was invited to relate her experiences in this new field of knowledge, especially due to her interest in Digital History, Web History and the History of Present Time. As well as the relations between the thinking of history in the present and the impacts of digital sources in the collective imaginary and recent history and respectively in historiographical research. Cultural representations, authority and identity issues, the role of the historian, alternative and fictional history, theoretical and methodological issues, and the specificities of digitally born sources are aspects and themes that ran through this interview.
