The objective of the present article is to reflect on the relationships among geography, history and technologies in the contemporary world. We emphasize the importance of studies by Fernand Braudel, his influence in Brazil and how geography and history have been brought closer together over generations of historians. Addressing the topic of innovation from the perspective of the writing of history, we demonstrate how the use of historical geographic information systems (GIS) has allowed us to better understand the connection between humans and the environment. In this new architecture of historical data enabled by the use of new technologies, it is possible to relate other databases and information, such as landscape and physical geography data. This provides an opportunity for researchers to gain new information, either by reading the spatial patterns of the historical sources or by the constraints imposed by the physical and geographical aspects of that society, among other forms of reading. However, this (re)encounter between time and space through technology ultimately suggests other possibilities and limitations for research. These issues will be extensively discussed in the present text
