Σύνοψη	Digital historical archival research is the systematic investigation of the past using digitized primary sources held in online repositories, digital archives, and electronic databases. It combines the interpretive principles of traditional historical archival research with digital tools for search, retrieval, text mining, and visualization, enabling researchers to access geographically dispersed collections, apply computational analysis to large corpora, and reconstruct historical events, processes, and social phenomena from preserved primary evidence.	Textual criticism is a systematic philological method for identifying, comparing, and evaluating variant readings across multiple manuscript or print witnesses of a text in order to reconstruct the most accurate version of the original — or the author's intended — text. Applied since antiquity to classical, biblical, and literary works, it remains the foundational editorial method in classical studies, biblical scholarship, medieval studies, and critical editing of literary works.
