Abstract: The first objective of the work is to continue advancing on methodological issues related to textbook research, building on the basis of previous theoretical and empirical works. This purpose leads to the second objective: to highlight the relevance and need to study thoroughly, from a theoretical and critical perspective, the methodological aspects of textbook analysis. The third is to present a multimodal and interdisciplinary methodological proposal that allows obtaining information about the school manual as a historiographic, social and political documentary source, in a rigorous manner. The importance of differentiating the textbook as a singular multicontextualized document, on the one hand, and the object of study with in the manual, on the other, is emphasized.
