- Among the countless research possibilities in the field of Information Science (IS), the historical-conceptual approach is relevant when we observe intents of systematization and theoretical deepening of this analytical sphere with markedly epistemological concerns. Taking into consideration this research universe, it was observed that the concept document has a privileged position in the “protective belt” of the “scientific research program” of Imre Lakatos adapted to IS by Miguel Rendón Rojas. However, it was seen repeatedly that the document was approached inaccurately in the field of IS, mainly when conceptual aspects related one moment by tradition, and the next by innovation were not counterbalanced. Bearing in mind the objective of the study and the identified problematics, we resorted to the disciplines of History, Diplomatics and Documentation as they were relevant to a historical and conceptual approach, precisely for having studied the document prior to IS. The research of these disciplines was justified by the hypotheses that they have influenced and/or contributed to the meaning of document while a category in the theoretical universe of IS. Based on this conjecture, the following objectives arose: a) to carry out a historical and conceptual study to learn to what extent the analyzed disciplines have contributed for the meaning of document in IS; and b) to understand the nature and the range of the concept in IS when seen under a social perspective that contemplated the dynamic relationship between tradition and innovation in its theoretical framework. Therefore, tradition and innovation are considered as antithetical categories of analysis inspired on those that make up Historik by Reinhart Koselleck and that represent respectively “reality rates” and “perspectives of the future” of the concept document, if seen, above all, from the point of view of the method of history of concepts created by the above mentioned author. In this sense, we tried to relate the history of concepts while an analysis method to the historical-conceptual studies of IS. The use of such categories, under the mentioned method, was relevant for making noticeable the historical change of the scientific concepts analyzed based on the premise that the diachrony is included in their use and concurrent formulation and that it reflects on the inherent valorative process of the disciplinary context of IS. Thus, we tried initially to analyze theoretical-contextual aspects in the historiographical field where the concept document appeared under tension between two streams – the “Positivist History” and the Annales movement. Secondly, we tried to relate such aspects to the meaning of document in the disciplines Diplomatics and Documentation which equally expressed conceptually the dynamics between tradition and innovation. Finally, the “hidden face” of the concept in the condition of a category in the “research program” of IS was disclosed. It was argued that the historical-conceptual resource was vital for such enunciation to be justified. With such approach, essential aspects that helped to retrace tradition and innovation in the disciplinary context of IS were reached. Among them the following stood out: a) theoretical approach between information and document (objective, subjective and social perspectives); b) focus on the subject/object relationship (objectivist or subjectivist); c) nature of the object/register (natural, artificial, textual, etc.); d) categories to identify the phase object/document (uniqueness, virtuality and meaning); and e) nature of the producer of the document.
