For those interested in digital humanities and Hungarian part of the Habsburg Empire: GISta Hungarorum
Project GISta Hungarorum led by Prof. Gábor Demeter was a small-scale HGIS project lasting for 3 years supported by the Hungarian Research Fund (50,000 EUR), which aimed at collecting statistical data of the Central Statistical Bureau of the Hungarian Kingdom (1865-1910), organising data into databases, visualizing socio-demographic phenomena, and also analyzing spatial patterns as well as temporal changes. During the course of the project
- a district-level digital GIS basemap of Austria-Hungary (1910)
- a community-level digital GIS basemap of Croatia (1910)
- a settlement-level digital GIS basemap of historical Hungary (1910)
- database for Austria-Hungary (socio-economic data, 1860s-1910s), for Croatia (socio-demographic and economic data, community level, district level, county level, 1880s-1910s) and a database for Hungary (socio-demographic and economic data, community level, district level, county level, 1880s-1910s) were created containing cca. 7.3 million data entries. Both the shape files (ArcGIS, QGIS) and the data tables of the relational database are available free of charge at: http://www.gistory.hu/g/en/gistory/otka
Beside this more than 800 maps to illustrate socio-economic development were created based on these data in 3 bilingual volumes (English and Hungarian), which were published online (http://www.gistory.hu/g/en/gistory/gismaps).
