Stanford Spatial History Lab

The Stanford Spatial History Lab is a research group at Stanford University that combines historical analysis with geographic technology. They use tools like mapping software, GIS (Geographic Information Systems), and spatial data to explore and understand historical events, developments, and patterns. By visualizing historical information geographically, they uncover new insights into how places and movements influence history. Their work helps scholars, students, and the public see history in a spatial context, making complex connections clearer and more accessible.
