This paper proposes a new approach for exploring digitized humanities and social sciences collections based on explainable links built from questions. Our experiments show the quality of our automatically generated questions and their relevance in a local context as well as the originality of the links produced by embeddings based on these questions. Analyses have also been performed to understand the types of questions generated on our corpus, and the related uses that can enrich the exploration. The relationships between the co-references and the questions generated, and the answers extracted from the text were also discussed and open a path for future improvements for our system in their resolution.
