The object of this article is focused on presenting Crono.Data, which is a visual interface to visualize concepts, author constellations and indexed citations from digital collections. Crono.Data is being developed from the research "Intellectual Network and Pan- Americanism: Relations between politics and the writing of history in the Southern Cone (1922-1940)", which aims to study a constellation of Americanist authors (Pan-American and Latin American). who organized history congresses, published books on the subject of American History, and articulated the founding of institutions and financing, as well as debating theoretical and methodological issues on the writing of history and education. Currently, we have indexed the collections of the Instituto Histórico Geográfico (1838-2008), the Biblioteca Brasiliana Guita and José Mindlin (incomplete), the Library of Rare Works of the UFRJ, the National Library (only Revista Americana of Itamaraty) and the Academia Nacional de History of Argentina (1924 to 1948). We used data mining methods to find the information that we consider relevant for research, and data modeling techniques to transform it into new forms of representation and visualization. Ways to build the database and ways to analyze the are presented.
