GISta Hungarorum – An Integrated and Visualized Municipal Level HGIS Database of the Kingdom of Hungary and Its Successor States (1330–2010)

Project GISta Hungarorum (2014–) aims to collect, integrate and visualize settlement level serial data sources from the 14th to the 21st centuries for the former area of the Kingdom of Hungary and Croatia (12,500 settlements, 300,000 sq. km), partly published online by the National Archives of Hungary, partly unpublished, in a form of a geospatial database (http://gistahungarorum.abtk.hu). This umbrella project links historical research and modern territorial planning through its GIS-aided approach and offers new insights into unsettled historical questions through hundreds of thematic cartograms and the statistical analysis of 10 million records.
