The Penn State GeoHistory Project

The Penn State GeoHistory Project is an educational research initiative that combines geographic information systems (GIS) and historical data to study regional development over time. By mapping historical events, settlement patterns, and environmental changes, the project helps to understand how geography influenced historical processes. It aims to improve teaching and research by creating detailed, interactive maps and datasets that provide insight into the spatial aspects of history, making complex historical patterns more accessible and engaging for students, scholars, and the general public.
