The Pôle Document numérique (PDN) of the Maison de la Recherche en Sciences Humaines (MRSH) acts in the spirit of the culture and mission of the Maisons des Sciences de l'Homme (MSH). It is an engineering group with a research programme, with a constant activity of project development in conjunction with teams and partners, and also a space for reflection on interdisciplinary research on the method and methodologies of digital documents.

More than fourty projects have been carried out in this way, as well as a fundamental CPER NUMNIE programme on methods which is strongly supported by the CNRS for its first and second generation (2021-2025). The PDN is strongly involved in the CAHIER and MASA consortia of the TGIR HumaNum.
