PUB 320 Historical GIS
When applied to history, geographic information systems (GIS), provide powerful analytical tools that enable historians fresh, new vantages on the past. Data can be layered in ways that enable the simultaneous analysis of time and space and research findings that can be presented visually in ways that make the past accessible to outside audiences. In this course, you will use GIS software to engage in historical analysis. Paired with the digital exercises are critical discussions and readings that investigate the role of digital mapping in the service of constructing and writing historical arguments.
