Great Britain Historical Geographical Information System (GBHGIS)

Great Britain Historical Geographical Information System (GBHGIS)
The Great Britain Historical Geographical Information System is a unique digital collection of information about Britain's localities as they have changed over time. Information comes from census reports, historical gazetteers, travellers' tales and historic maps assembled into a whole that is much more than the sum of its parts. This site tells you more about the project itself and about historical GIS. A separate website, created by funding from the UK National Lottery and extended and re-launched with funding from the Joint Information Systems Committee, makes this resource available on-line to everyone, presenting our information graphically and cartographically. That site is called A Vision of Britain through Time and presents the history of Great Britain through places. Related:  Historical GIS

What Historians Want from GIS By J. B. "Jack" Owens An increasing number of historians, particularly those dealing with world history or the history of large geographic regions, are becoming interested in using geographic information systems for research and teaching. Historians are noticing GIS because they normally deal with processes in complex, dynamic, nonlinear systems and, therefore, demand a means to organize a large number of variables and identify those variables most likely implicated in the stability and transformation of such systems. However, GIS remains largely unknown among the vast majority of professional historians, and a significant percentage of those who believe they know about the technology think it is something they can buy with their next car so that they will not become lost. GIS and History I am often the only historian at geographic information science (GIScience) meetings, and my presence provokes the obvious question.

Maps & GIS: useful websites. GIS and remote-sensing – University of Reading This page includes a list of internet resources where data (including both vector mapping data and raster remote sensing data) can be obtained for inclusion in a Geographical Information System (GIS) or use with image processing software. The list has been divided into sites which allow free download of data (including sites where the University has a subscription e.g. Digimap) and ones where purchase is necessary. If data for a particular country is required, it may also be worth checking out the national survey organisation as they may have data available for purchase. You could also do a Google search for '[country name] free GIS' Collections of sites Go-Geo! Free data (Institutional login required) More information about Accessing e-resources.

MAGIS Kennisplatform - MAGIS De kaart van Marcus Gheeraerts (1521-1604) is de bekendste en meest gereproduceerde historische kaart van Brugge. Gheeraerts tekende het stadsplan in 1561-62 in opdracht van het Brugse stadsbestuur. Zijn kaart werd een uniek meesterwerk: hij graveerde een minutieus driedimensionaal zicht op alle historische gebouwen, stadspoorten, windmolens, reien, straten, pleinen, woningen tot en met de bedrijvigheid langs de reien. Met het MAGIS Brugge-project wil het Bruggemuseum, in samenwerking met het Stadsarchief Brugge en met historici van de Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, de Universiteit Gent en de Vrije Universiteit Brussel een stap verder gaan in het gebruik en de ontsluiting van de kaart. MAGIS Brugge of MArcus Gheeraerts Informatie Systeem is een dynamisch kennisplatform voor de middeleeuwse en zestiende-eeuwse geschiedenis van Brugge. Op deze website vindt u het wetenschappelijke kennisplatform dat gebruikt wordt om gegevens in te voeren in de databank.

Geographically-Integrated History DECIMA: The Digitally Encoded Census Information and Mapping Archive, and the Project for a Geo-Spatial and Sensory Digital Map of Renaissance Florence The Agas Map Our new (as of the beginning of 2015) implementation of the Agas Map is based on the OpenLayers 3.0 library. It presents the map as a zoomable, rotatable tiled image with several hundred locations plotted on it. In the default view, the locations are initially hidden; you can show them by checking checkboxes in the navigation panel which appears at the top right of the map. Locations in the navigation panel are sorted into categories; click on a category name to expand it and see all the locations. Some locations appear in more than one category. Zoom in and out using the scroll wheel on your mouse, or the zoom control at the top left. Apart from this, these are the main things you will want to do with the map: Find one or more specific locations and show them This is best done by searching in the navigation panel. You can also search for a MoEML @xml:id value in the search box, so if you happen to know the id of a location, but not its name, you can find it quickly that way.
