Reconstructing African American Mobility after Emancipation, 1865–67
Historians and social scientists have relied on contemporaneous textual accounts to document African American mobility in the immediate aftermath of emancipation after the Civil War, but they have interpreted them in widely varying ways. Some emphasize large-scale migration across the South, while others suggest that most movements were local and limited. This research tracks the early or “first wave” of African American migrants between 1865 and…
Railroads and regional labor markets in the mid-nineteenth-century United States
Railroads and Immigration in the Northeast United States 1850-1900
Both large-scale immigration and rapid expansion of the railroad network played major roles in the economic development of the United States during the second half of the 19th century. Although the romance of the settlement of the West has received much attention in the literature, the northeast remained the industrial powerhouse of the continent, attracting large numbers of immigrants to work in its mines, factories and mills, despite the growin…
A Full-Scale Implementation of the Napp 1880 U.S. Census Data Set Using Dimensional Modeling and Data-Warehousing Technology
Data warehousing is a high-performance database technology for the processing of complex data cubes that can be aggregated and crosstabulated in a wide variety of ways. Individual-level U.S. 1880 census records can be analyzed using this technology to extract information not available from printed census volumes, if hierarchically structured code lists for numerical census variables can be converted into analytical dimensions that drive the cross…
Historical GIS
The last 10 years have seen a sudden rise in interest in the use of Geographical Information Systems (GIS) in historical research. This has led to a field that has become known as `historical GIS'. This development started in the more quantitative ends of the discipline but has spread to encompass qualitative research as well. Interest in historical GIS is not restricted to researchers who would previously have regarded themselves as historical g…
Geography, Timing, and Technology
This article examines key questions about the development of Pennsylvania's mid-nineteenth-century iron industry. The analysis is based on new data and exhaustive examination of previously underutilized sources within the framework of a geographic information system (GIS). Hypotheses are tested on the timing of adoption of mineral-fuel technologies across the state; the temporal relationships between investment in ironworks, business cycles, and …
Historical GIS as a Foundation for the Analysis of Regional Economic Growth
The argument of this article starts with three key theoretical postulates: First, regional-scale explanation differs in important respects from either aggregate macroeconomic studies of development at the national level or microeconomic and business historical studies of individual firms. Second, neoclassical economic theory is unsuitable as a basis for the analysis of regional economic dynamics, and a different framework, called adjustment theor…
