The question will be raised if GIS-based reconstructions of boundaries, leading to visualization, multimedia presentation of historical data, and to advanced mapping, at the same time contain potentials for rewriting the territorial histories of nations and/or regions in Europe from the early modern period to the twentieth century. How does the nearly complete control in data and knowledge about long-term territorial changes, which a GIS can offer, lead to new questions regarding the historical divisions of peoples – be they administrative, religious, dynastic, ethnic, or cultural – and their overcoming or persistence during state-building processes?

You can combine search terms with and, or and/or not, e.g. Philo not logy.
You can use brackets to separate combinations from each other, e.g. (Philo not logy) or (Psycho and logy).
Coherent groups of words will be located as complete phrases if you put them into quotation marks, e.g. “Federal Republic of Germany”.
You can also use the advanced search without entering search terms. It will then follow the criteria you have selected (e.g. country or subject area).
If you have not selected any criteria in a given category, the entire category will be searched (e.g. all subject areas or all countries).
