The endemic presence of <em>Plasmodium vivax</em> malaria, transmitted by <em>Anopheles atroparvus</em> mosquitoes, was closely tied to brackish wetlands created by peat extraction and polderization, particularly in low-lying coastal areas. We investigate whether these malarious conditions influenced Female Age at First Marriage (FAFM), a key element of the EMP. To identify malarious areas, we used a Topographic Wetness Index (TWI), which generated a map that aligned closely with historical and anecdotal malaria outbreak data in the eighteenth century. A spatial regression discontinuity analysis revealed that FAFM decreased significantly in malarious regions, by up to 1 year and 43 days, suggesting that the disease's demographic pressures prompted earlier marriage. Mortality was also notably higher in these regions, with lifespans shortened by up to five years. These findings demonstrate how the physical environment interacted with both disease geography and social factors, showing that malaria's historical burden extended beyond health to shape demographic patterns. As climate change alters disease geography today, understanding historical dynamics offers valuable lessons for anticipating future societal impacts.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"91 ","pages":"Pages 212-227"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146134342","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper focuses on the comparative analysis of historical questionnaires from sixteenth-century Spain, used for New World territories, and eighteenth-century Russia, used for Siberia as a method of data collection. It explores how the Modern era questionnaires were used to gather information about human-environment interactions in poorly explored territories, including land use, socio-economic conditions, resources, and geographical knowledge. The study traces parallel logics of imperial knowledge administration in frontier regions, demonstrating how different empires employed questionnaires as tools to structure and standardize knowledge of peripheral spaces. It argues that while the questionnaire forms demonstrate considerable stability, the variation in individual questions highlights regional particularities. Finally, the article develops a set of criteria for identifying a defined subset of historical questionnaires and their resulting documentation as a distinct genre.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"91 ","pages":"Pages 250-264"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146188052","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It focuses on the Labrador forest at the center of the Labrador/Quebec boundary dispute. Since the 1880s, the imagined potential for forestry in Labrador generated speculative activity and competing colonial ownership claims. In 1927, after decades of ambiguity and growing conflict between the Canadian province of Quebec and the Dominion of Newfoundland, the Judicial Committee of the Privy Council (JCPC) in England defined the Labrador boundary by the height of land, giving jurisdiction over most of the interior of the Quebec/Labrador Peninsula to Newfoundland. Throughout this colonial quarrel, the Innu people, the Indigenous inhabitants of the disputed area, were ignored. The ontological creation of the forest of Labrador as a natural resource and the establishment of the boundary resulted in the colonial encroaching of the Innu territory, Nitassinan. This process continues to marginalize the Innu people's practices in, relationships with, and conceptualizations of their territory, contributing to the ongoing colonial dispossession of their lands, even when the Innu nominally participated in a co-management process of the forest in Central Labrador that was at the heart of the boundary dispute.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"91 ","pages":"Pages 77-88"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145784427","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Pajaro's repeated levee failures, including major floods in 1995 and 2023, are not merely engineering shortcomings, but outcomes of nineteenth-century boundary-making, racialized labor systems, and uneven public investment. Findings show that meaningful political engagement emerges less through formal stakeholder channels than through informal, locally embedded networks that mobilize care and mutual aid. By integrating environmental history, political geography, and disaster risk reduction, the paper situates Pajaro within broader patterns in which governance decisions actively produce vulnerability. Together, the results highlight how bottom-up participation operates as both a response to and critique of structural neglect in hazard-prone landscapes.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"91 ","pages":"Pages 230-239"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"146134341","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper therefore reassesses the determinants of female migration, and questions whether, in the absence of good employment opportunities, women instead pursed migration strategies that maximised their chances of being matched with a well-paid spouse. The analysis shows that women viewed marriage and work as substitutes for one another and therefore, if employment prospects attracted migrants, so too must marriage prospects. By adopting a spatial approach, this study finds that the drivers of migration were gendered, and that while men were almost invariably attracted by employment prospects, whether women were similarly attracted by employment opportunities was context dependent. Whereas well-paid work attracted some women to places like London, well-paid men attracted other women to mining communities. However, it is also shown that such migration flows were not necessarily evidence of an innate preference for marriage, but of an absence of alternatives. Therefore, whether female migration was a response to marriage prospects, depended on whether female migrants perceived alternative employment opportunities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":47094,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Historical Geography","volume":"91 ","pages":"Pages 37-55"},"PeriodicalIF":1.1,"publicationDate":"2026-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145732607","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"历史学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
