The Routledge Companion to Spatial History explores the full range
of ways in which GIS can be used to study the past, considering key
questions such as what types of new knowledge can be developed
solely as a consequence of using GIS and how effective GIS can be
for different types of research. Global in scope and covering a
broad range of subjects, the chapters in this volume discuss ways
of turning sources into a GIS database, methods of analysing these
databases, methods of visualising the results of the analyses, and
approaches to interpreting analyses and visualisations. Chapter
authors draw from a diverse collection of case studies from around
the world, covering topics from state power in imperial China to
the urban property market in nineteenth-century Rio de Janeiro,
health and society in twentieth-century Britain and the demographic
impact of the Second Battle of Ypres in 1915. Critically evaluating
both the strengths and limitations of GIS and illustrated with over
two hundred maps and figures, this volume is an essential resource
for all students and scholars interested in the use of GIS and
spatial analysis as a method of historical research.
