The application of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to historical questions and, more recently, the ability to share research results with a wide public through web mapping resources has resulted in fresh insights into how locations have developed and allows new understanding of historical change. The Canadian Historical Geographic Information Systems Partnership (Canadian HGIS) aims to consolidate efforts to address a major historical resource, and bring efficiency and economies of scale to the partnership.
