The Importance of the Application of Models and Methods to Analyze the Documents in Historical Research

One of the issues concerned in contemporary historical research is neglect of documents and increasing notation of texts in research references. Historical studies because of diversity of sources on the one hand, and changing from dominance of Literary-Historical approach toward interdisciplinary approaches in other side, have been followed by an abduction of researchers in historical sources (including historical documents). The problem of this study is to show; what and which are uses of documents as texts and resources for applying in historical research and what methodology patterns can be interpreted for effective analysis in its content?.Method of research is based on historical analysis and practice of interdisciplinary studies for interpreting of documents. Also the research concentrates on documentary history with a macro approach, and the micro approach of document contents will not be discussed. The results of my paper show that, using of historical documents in terms of content identification and application of appropriate patterns can be perpetuated and created a document in historical studies and lead to documental historiography. Thus, It is possible that, historians as the subjects and agents of historical research return to needs analysis and originality of the text. This approach would be effective either in scientific doubt about the dates is known and, or lead to plan more accurately than statements of historical narrative.
