Neighbourhood Structure of Middlesbrough, United Kingdom,”
Annals
of the Association of American Geographers
97 (2007): 31-48 uses surname
distributions to map paterns of migration into a town in the northeast
of England, a technique that could be applied much more widely. I. N.
Gregory, J. Marti Henneberg, and F. J. Tapiador, “Modeling Long-Term
Pan-European Population Change from 1870 to 2000 Using Geograph-
ical Information Systems,”
Journal of the Royal Statistical Society Series
A
173 (2010): 31-50 looks at long-term population change in Europe but
not at migration per se.
Transport and Mobility
Transport is another area that clearly has much potential for GIS-based
analyses. The 2010 special issue of
Social Science History
contains three
papers on the impact that the development of the rail network had on
population in the nineteenth century in different places. J. Atack, F. Bate-
man, M. Haines, and R. A. Margo, “Did Railroads Induce or Follow Eco-
nomic Growth? Urbanization and Population Growth in the American
Midwest, 1850-1860,” 171-97 looks at the United States; I. N. Gregory
and J. Marti Henneberg, “The Railways, Urbanization, and Local Dem-
ography in England and Wales, 1825-1911,” 199-228 looks at England
and Wales; and R. M. Schwartz, “Rail Transport, Agrarian Crisis, and
the Restructuring of Agriculture: France and Great Britain Confront
Globalization, 1860-1900 229-55 compares France and Britain. Moving
back in time, M. E. O'Kelly's “The Impact of Accessibility Change on
the Geography of Crop Production: A Re-examination of the Illinois
and Michigan Canal Using GIS,”
Annals of the Association of American
Geographers
97 (2007): 49-63 looks at the impact of the Erie Canal on
agriculture; and G. R. Dobbs, “Backcountry Setlement Development
and Indian Trails: A GIS Land-Grant Analysis,”
Social Science Computer
Review
27 (2009): 331-47 looks at how the arrangement of indigenous
trails inluenced urban setlement paterns in eighteenth-century North
Carolina.
Looking at mobility, D. A. Fyfe and D. W. Holdsworth, “Signatures
of Commerce in Small-Town Hotel Guest Registers,”
Social Science His-
tory
33 (2009): 17-45; and D. A. Fyfe, D. W. Holdsworth, and C. Weaver
