Description / Table of Contents:
Fundamentally concerned with place and our ability to understand human relationships
with environment over time, Historical Geographic Information Systems (HGIS) as a tool
and a subject has direct bearing on the study of contemporary social and environmental
issues and realities. To date, HGIS projects in Canada are few and publications that discuss
these projects directly even fewer. This book brings together case studies of HGIS projects in
historical geography, social and cultural history, and environmental history from Canada’s
diverse regions. Topics explored include religion and ethnicity, migration, indigenous land
practices, rebuilding a nineteenth-century neighborhood, and working with Google Earth.
