"Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is not simply a technology. Instead, it is an organizing principle that is helping to transform the discipline of history by allowing historians to ask new questions from new perspectives. GIS allows historians and other scholars to mine vast amounts of data which had previously been beyond the reach of traditional methods of analysis. The Historical GIS Clearinghouse and Forum provides a central reference point for scholars seeking to access or catalogue projects that apply geographic technologies to historical research."
