Methodology for a geo-historical knowledge and practic: analysis of preterit spatialities using computer tools

ABSTRACT

Using computational tools, we present in this paper a methodology for analysis of old maps with emphasis on three aspects: its geometry, its georeferencing and its vectorization. Unlike other methodologies aimed at mapping accuracy and absolute positions, it chooses to establish a relative georeferencing, this is, establish relationships of features, locations and trajectories that the ancient map could establish with contemporary maps, without, nonetheless, distorting significantly the original features map of study.

KEYWORDS
Historical GIS; relative georeferencing; geohistory
