The articles in this special issue demonstrate the importance of employing geographical methodology and the study of spatial relationships for the reconstruction and reinterpretation of the human past. To that end, they explore a common theme of transport infrastructure and its effects on population distribution during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries in Europe, revealing the fresh results and perspectives that the use of geographical information systems (gis) makes possible. Although the articles use different databases and draw upon methodologies specifically adapted for their respective locations, their approaches embody a distinct thematic unity.
