Geographical Information Systems and the Study of History

The articles in this special issue are unique in their use of historical geographical information systems (hgis) to explore a common theme—transport infrastructure and its effects on population distribution in nineteenth- and twentieth-century Europe. Collectively and individually, they demonstrate how to integrate spatial analysis into historical research and how to bring a historical dimension to geographical analyses.
