Description

Historical GIS is an emerging field that uses Geographical Information Systems (GIS) to research the geographies of the past.

Ian Gregory and Paul Ell's study, first published in 2007, comprehensively defines this field, exploring all aspects of using GIS in historical research.

A GIS is a form of database in which every item of data is linked to a spatial location.

This technology offers unparalleled opportunities to add insight and rejuvenate historical research through the ability to identify and use the geographical characteristics of data.

Historical GIS introduces the basic concepts and tools underpinning GIS technology, describing and critically assessing the visualisation, analytical and e-science methodologies that it enables and examining key scholarship where GIS has been used to enhance research debates.

The result is a clear agenda charting how GIS will develop as one of the most important approaches to scholarship in historical geography.
