Abstract
This chapter argues that it is not the historians' fault that GIS is not used more often in historical research projects, but rather the unappealing methodology that GIS-both historical and normal GIS-offer. However, it is not called for new software, but a new approach to GIS in history. Taking the clue paradigm of Italian historian Carlo Ginzburg as point of departure, this chapter looks at GIS as a tool to create alternative scenarios for tracking history.
