The Historical GIS Research Network

The Historical GIS Research Network is a collaborative community focused on using Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to study historical events and trends. By combining geographic data with historical information, researchers can create visual maps and analyses that reveal patterns over time, such as migration, urban development, and environmental changes. This interdisciplinary network brings together historians, geographers, and other scholars to share tools, methodologies, and findings, which helps enhance our understanding of history in a spatial context, making it easier to explore how past societies interacted with their environments.
