The acceleration of technological development raises certain challenges and doubts about the maintenance of tools and data. Must we accept that digital data will be useless in a few decades? This article presents some concrete solutions, such as the use of repositories, the application of FAIR principles, or the use of standard formats such as XML-TEI. More generally, it argues for the maintenance of a historical view both of the humanities and of libraries, and for a humanistic and quantitative critique of digital aspects.
