Seven studies published in Portuguese, English, and Spanish without a time frame were included. We descriptively proceeded with the analysis, and we organized two thematic categories: the digital and non-digital technologies for teaching nursing history.Results: In the studies, we identified digital technologies, such as websites, virtual learning environments and objects, and non-digital, such as television series, Cordel literature, and printed texts. There was an increasing interest of researchers in the implantation of technologies for teaching nursing history, expressed by the increase in the number of studies in the last ten years.Conclusion: Digital and non-digital educational technologies contributed to nursing history teaching by being valid, safe, effective, attractive, and motivational for active learning, as well as for the development of the critical and reflective ability in the identity conformation.
