Its aims are to: • Define GIS and outline how it can be used in historical research • Evaluate the way GIS models the world • Describe how to get data into a GIS • Demonstrate the basic operations that GIS offers to explore a database • Review how time is handled in GIS • Explain how GIS can be used for simple mapping and more advanced forms of visualisation • Discuss quantitative data analysis within GIS • Illustrate the use of GIS for qualitative analysis The book provides a broad sweep of GIS knowledge relevant to historians without assuming prior knowledge. It includes case studies from a variety of historical projects that have used GIS and an extensive reading list of GIS texts relevant to historians.",
