GIS and History
•Historical GIS is a computer-based tool and an associated set of methods that combines geography (study of spatial differentiation) and history (study of temporal differentiation)
• In other words… the study of change over space and time.
![Page 4: Mapping Indiana’s History Using GIS Technology Bill Holder, Koscuisko County Kevin Mickey, The Polis Center](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649ced5503460f949ba061/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)

Challenges of Historical GIS
• Thinking spatially Where is something (an object) located? What characteristics (attributes) are
part of the object in its location? Has it moved, and has its movement
changed its characteristics?
• Thinking visually Representing complexity Representing movement through space
and time

Challenges of Historical GIS
• Historical data are often uncertain, ambiguous, incomplete, or missing
• Contextual data are limited• Complex software• Incomplete spatial ontology
(classification schemes)
![Page 6: Mapping Indiana’s History Using GIS Technology Bill Holder, Koscuisko County Kevin Mickey, The Polis Center](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649ced5503460f949ba061/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Questions to Consider
• What can be learned from what is shown on a map? Symbols used to represent information Major events/features as perceived by
the designer
• What can be learned by what is missing on a map? Missing borders Features such as cities or other cultural
features

Issues for Scanned Imagery
• Creating digital map images requires access to a scanner. Can be quite expensive – although
inexpensive options are available.
• Decisions must be made about resolution. Higher resolution images show more
detail, but create larger files that are slow to display.
![Page 12: Mapping Indiana’s History Using GIS Technology Bill Holder, Koscuisko County Kevin Mickey, The Polis Center](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649ced5503460f949ba061/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Issues for Scanned Imagery
Delivering digital map images Large image files are typically very
slow to deliver across the Web.

Deriving Vector Data from Raster Maps
• Heads-up ‘tracing’ (digitizing) Involves manually
drawing points, lines, and polygons on top of a raster image that has been scanned into a digital format.
![Page 14: Mapping Indiana’s History Using GIS Technology Bill Holder, Koscuisko County Kevin Mickey, The Polis Center](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022070411/56649ced5503460f949ba061/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Deriving Vector Data from Raster Maps
• Automatic vectorization tools Also involves creating points lines
and polygons, but in this case, the computer automatically scans the map and creates the features.
The quality of the output depends on the quality of the data source. Some manual editing is nearly always necessary.

Capturing and Using Attributes
• You can create a database attached to the vectorized graphic feature which can then be queried as needed. For example - “Find the
geographic feature named Anticoste I.”

Project on Religion and Urban Culture
• The Project on Religion and Urban Culture nurtured public inquiry and civic conversation about the role of religion in the creation and re-creation of urban community in one American city, and, by implication, in other American cities.
• Products included eight books, two video series and over 90 periodical publications.

Steps in Thinking
• Textual data suggested the relocation of churches is related to movement of members. We mapped church members
addresses at multiple points in history to visualize the patterns of their movement and their relationship to class.
• Example – 2nd Presbyterian Church

Teaching American History Grants
• Project activities included development and testing of multiple approaches for integrating geospatial technologies into the social studies curriculum of K-12 classrooms.
• These efforts ranged from conducting stand alone workshops to integrating workshops with field research over a multi-month period.
• Teachers learned a variety of GIS tools and developed lesson plans.

Where my Interest in Cemeteries began
• Picture it – Knoxville Tennessee, Summer of 1994• Worked as a GIS Specialist for the Knoxville/Knox
County Tennessee Metropolitan Planning Commission
• Volunteered at the Great Smoky Mountain National Park one day a week
• Assigned to work with a seasonal park ranger on surveying the Cemeteries of Cades Cove
• Used traditional survey equipment to map the cemeteries. Also
transcribed the information fromeach stone
• Enjoyed the experience of workingin these historic Cemeteries in a beautiful mountain setting

Participatory Learning
“Participatory Learning includes the ways in which new technologies enable learners (of any age) to contribute in diverse ways to individual and shared learning goals. Through games, wikis, blogs, virtual environments, social network sites, cell phones, mobile devices, and other digital platforms, learners can participate in virtual communities where they share ideas, comment upon one another's projects, and plan, design, advance, implement, or simply discuss their goals and ideas together. “
McArthur Foundation, 2008

Redefining GIS
• Moving beyond traditional GIS• Making GIS truly multimodal• Opening GIS to VREs and
immersive environments• Creating collaborative spaces
(Participatory GIS)• Developing a new way of learning
(nonlinear, fluid, reflexive)

The Way Forward
Making all forms of space—geographic, conceptual, relative—explicit in our work.
Teaching spatial literacy.Developing a humanities-friendly spatial
toolkit, building from exemplar historical GIS projects.
Proving the case.
