Digital History

I typically approach history from the bottom up, but I often examine geospatial sources from the top down. I use aerial photographs to supplement historical research in land use and land cover change, and I use historical Geographic Information Systems to “follow things around” – across borders and between human and natural ecosystems.

These pages are resources for teaching and conducting digital history.
