Today, visual and digital tools are increasingly being used in the social sciences and humanities for translating historical documents into datasets that can be digitally manipulated and recombined. Mapping is an effective tool for reconstructing the past, which reveals the spatial relationships that stimulated cultural, social and political change over time. In Mapping History, we will introduce digital tools and workflows for visualizing and interpreting historical data, and learn how to present historical information with online maps.
