Las fuentes geohistóricas, entre las que se encuentran las de tipo catastral y paracatastral, poseen generalmente una heterogeneidad y variedad tipológica mayor que en sus versiones actuales. Así pues, la investigación con fuentes geohistóricas, abordada desde múltiples disciplinas (Geografía, Historia, Arte, Antropología, Ciencias ambientales, Urbanismo, Arquitectura, Demografía...) supone un gran impulso para el análisis, el conocimiento y el estudio del territorio, de los paisajes y de la sociedad desde una perspectiva espaciotemporal. Esta publicación con el título Raíces profundas. Un viaje por las fuentes geohistóricas hasta la Ilustración nace del I Congreso Internacional de Fuentes Geohistóricas: territorio y sociedad en el tiempo se centrará en temáticas de relevancia: la aplicación de este tipo de fuentes en estudios de tipologías variadas; las aportaciones metodológicas o la generación de estándares de trabajo aplicables a fuentes de tipo catastral y paracatastral de distintos ámbitos y épocas; la didáctica en torno a fuentes geohistóricas; la promoción de estas fuentes a través del uso de nuevas tecnologías en el ámbito de las Humanidades y las Ciencias Sociales; el estudio y análisis de documentación catastral, paracatastral, estadística y cartográfica cuyo objetivo sea conocer las características de las propias fuentes y sus contenidos, etcétera. En definitiva, este encuentro científico u su posterior publicación en colaboración con las editoriales de la Universidad de Cantabria y la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid tiene el objetivo de servir de plataforma para los investigadores y técnicos que estén desarrollando aproximaciones sobre cuál es la finalidad de cada fuente, qué circunstancias ideológicas, políticas, sociales y económicas las motivaron, para qué pueden utilizarse hoy sus contenidos, qué datos se recogen y con qué criterios se agregan y elaboran, qué documentos se confeccionan directa e indirectamente y, finalmente, con qué medios humanos, con qué técnicas se levantaron y con qué recursos técnicos, humanos y de contexto se desarrollaron. Abstract Geohistorical sources, among which are those of the cadastral and paracatastral type, generally have greater heterogeneity and typological variety than in their current versions. Thus, research with geohistorical sources, approached from multiple disciplines (Geography, History, Art, Anthropology, Environmental Sciences, Urban Planning, Architecture, Demography...) represents a great boost for the analysis, knowledge and study of the territory, of landscapes and society from a spatiotemporal perspective. This publication with the title Deep roots. A journey through geohistorical sources until the Enlightenment was born from the I International Congress of Geohistorical Sources: territory and society in time will focus on relevant topics: the application of this type of sources in studies of various typologies; the methodological contributions or the generation of work standards applicable to cadastral and para-catastral sources from different areas and periods; didactics around geohistorical sources; the promotion of these sources through the use of new technologies in the field of Humanities and Social Sciences; the study and analysis of cadastral, paracatastral, statistical and cartographic documentation whose objective is to know the characteristics of the sources themselves and their contents, etc. In short, this scientific meeting and its subsequent publication in collaboration with the publishers of the University of Cantabria and the Autonomous University of Madrid has the objective of serving as a platform for researchers and technicians who are developing approaches about the purpose of each source, what ideological, political, social and economic circumstances motivated them, what their contents can be used for today, what data are collected and with what criteria they are aggregated and elaborated, what documents are prepared directly and indirectly and, finally, with what human resources, with what techniques they were built and with what technical, human and contextual resources they were developed.

The Cartography of the Northwest Coast of America to the Year 1800, Volume II

by Henry R. Wagner

2023 · Univ of California Press

The Cartography of the Northwest Coast of America to the Year 1800, Volume II by Henry R. Wagner is an essential companion to Volume I, offering detailed resources for scholars of early cartography. This volume contains abbreviations, a comprehensive list of maps with an index, lists of both modern and obsolete place names, and a thorough bibliography. Wagner traces the evolution of place names from the period of Spanish and Russian exploration up to 1800, highlighting how many original names fell out of use and were replaced with modern equivalents following the American occupation of California. By bridging historical and contemporary nomenclature, this volume provides a valuable tool for understanding the geographical changes along the northwest coast. Ideal for researchers and cartographers, it enhances the study of early exploration and mapping of the Pacific Northwest. This title is part of UC Press's Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to 1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title was originally published in 1937.
