Well before the innovation of maps, gazetteers served as the main
geographic referencing system for hundreds of years. Consisting of
a specialized index of place names, gazetteers traditionally linked
descriptive elements with topographic features and coordinates.
Placing Names is inspired by that tradition of discursive
place-making and by contemporary approaches to digital data
management that have revived the gazetteer and guided its
development in recent decades. Adopted by researchers in the
Digital Humanities and Spatial Sciences, gazetteers provide a way
to model the kind of complex cultural, vernacular, and perspectival
ideas of place that can be located in texts and expanded into an
interconnected framework of naming history. This volume brings
together leading and emergent scholars to examine the history of
the gazetteer, its important role in geographic information
science, and its use to further the reach and impact of spatial
reasoning into the digital age.
