• W2206849251 abstract "Geographic information systems (GIS) methods and technologies arrive at a time of renewed optimism for the field of urban history. GIS, with its dramatic visualization capacities, promises new insights into the broad question of urban social structures, their connection to wider social change, and the nature of social relations amongst urban residents. The application of GIS to the study of towns and cities has the potential to build on Philip Abrams’ insight into urban places as a social form “in which the essential properties of larger systems of social relations are grossly concentrated and intensified—to the point where residential size, density, and heterogeneity, the formal characteristics of the town, appear to be in themselves constituent properties of a distinct social order.” In this article, we use GIS to test the applicability of concepts associated with large cities to two medium-sized American cities of the mid-nineteenth century, in the process reflecting on the potential and limits of GIS techniques in urban historical settings. It is important to emphasize both the potential and limits associated with the application of GIS to historical cases. In exploring the utility for historical analysis of GIS and its associated folio of ever more sophisticated statistical techniques, we turned to work underway on Alexandria, Virginia in the late 1850s (population 12,293) and Newport, Kentucky in the early 1870s (population 15,576). These two river cities shared important similarities as urban places but were also usefully distinctive. A feature that lends itself to exploring these towns with GIS techniques is the 28,000 linked files we have created that include the place of residence for over 70 percent of the towns’ inhabitants. These files contain a vast array of information for each resident, including perhaps most surprisingly, individual political behavior. With GIS we can map out the towns’ individual inhabitants, including their behavior at the polls. The enormous effort required to create these files reminds us, however, of one of the difficulties of using GIS in historical environments, where the databases must be created from scratch rather than simply deployed from modern sources." @default.
