Abstract
The author describes the use of computer map-making programs to develop contour maps illustrating demographic and economic data. Data concerning rural industrialization and the population shifts that occurred with the expansion of the silk industry in the French province of Isere in the late nineteenth century are used to demonstrate the process. Some of the values and limitations of computer mapping are considered; and suggestions for other applications are included. (ANNOTATION)
期刊介绍:
Historical Methodsreaches an international audience of social scientists concerned with historical problems. It explores interdisciplinary approaches to new data sources, new approaches to older questions and material, and practical discussions of computer and statistical methodology, data collection, and sampling procedures. The journal includes the following features: “Evidence Matters” emphasizes how to find, decipher, and analyze evidence whether or not that evidence is meant to be quantified. “Database Developments” announces major new public databases or large alterations in older ones, discusses innovative ways to organize them, and explains new ways of categorizing information.
