Starting from the discussion about the so-called Digital Humanities, we want, in this paper, to show how the Women in Portuguese America Project (MAP in Portuguese) fits into this field by working with the digital diffusion of documents written by women or referring to women between 1500-1822. When we search for these documents (of various types, such as letters, inquisitorial processes, requirements, etc.) in archives with digital catalogs (such as the Public Archive of the State of São Paulo), as well as archives with a large digitized collection (such as the National Archives of Torre do Tombo de Lisboa), we noticed the lack of a search key that would select them according to the presence of the woman as author or referee. Thus, drawing on the documents already available in these and other collections providing digital reproductions of the documents, MAP proposes the construction of its own catalog, which has been digitally built in XML language. Therefore, we are forming a corpus, bringing together these women authors or referred. So that we can build a catalog with this theme, we are preparing transcriptions and philological editions of these documents. Considering that the purpose is to democratize access by making such writings available online, we use the eDictor software, which consists of a text editor for philological work and which allows linguistic analysis. In addition, it is possible to elaborate modernized editions of manuscripts without losing the relevant philological information of the original text. The development and use of digital technologies such as eDictor, by the MAP Project, are part of the tendency of the humanities to approach the computer sciences. From the results we have obtained, we can say that the use of eDictor favors the quality of the philological editing of manuscripts and allows researchers from various areas and a wider public to access these documents. These advantages give us the perspective of intensifying the use and improvement of the software, in order to expand the possibilities of text corpora construction. Thus, in MAP, digital resources are considered as both applied tools and products, i.e. resources generated by the project.
