The Historical GIS Project

The Historical GIS Project uses Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to research and analyze historical events, places, and societies by mapping and visualizing spatial data from the past. This project combines historical documents, maps, and various data sources to create interactive maps that help scholars and the public understand how geography influenced history. By visually representing historical information, it enables better insights into patterns and trends over time, such as migration, settlement, and land use, allowing for a deeper understanding of how past events shape the present.
