Historical GIS Working Group

The Historical GIS Working Group is a collaborative network of experts who use Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to study historical events, places, and patterns over time. By combining maps, data, and historical research, they create digital tools that help visualize and analyze how geography has influenced history. This work enhances our understanding of past societies, migrations, conflicts, and environmental changes, making historical data more accessible and insightful. It's a growing field that connects historians, geographers, and technologists to uncover the layers of history in our landscapes.
