Historical GIS

Historical GIS (Geographic Information Systems) is a specialized field that combines geography, history, and technology to analyze and visualize historical data in relation to space and time. It allows researchers to map past events, movements, and social changes using layers of information, such as maps, texts, and images. By employing digital tools, historians can represent how places and landscapes have changed over time, enabling a deeper understanding of historical contexts and patterns. This approach helps to uncover relationships in data that might not be visible through traditional historical methods alone.
