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...
