This course surveys the field of spatial history, examining a range of projects and platforms, and undertaking hands-on work as an introduction to a variety of methods. We will take an expansive view of spatial history, looking at maps and cartography, georeferencing historical maps, geographic information systems, data visualization, web mapping, deep mapping, mapping for mobile devices, story maps, 3D spaces, and virtual reality. In each case, building on an examination of concepts such as place, space, scale and movement, we will look at historical projects to consider what questions and interpretations flow from a spatial approach. In the hands-on introduction you will work with sample data, and then choose a method to employ in a research project using sources from your own field of research.
