Studia Geohistorica

Aims & Scope

The journal Studia Geohistorica is a specialist periodical presenting research at the intersection of geography and history. It continues long-standing scholarly traditions associated with historical geography as well as the history of geography and cartography, while also drawing on developments in such subdisciplines as human geography, cultural geography, and humanistic geography. It is therefore addressed both to scholars in the humanities and social sciences and to representatives of geographical disciplines who conduct their research within the paradigm of a spatial approach to the past. The annual serves as a platform for the exchange of experience and research findings, as well as for the presentation of diverse or complementary approaches in terms of both subject matter and methodology. Within this framework, historical geography ceases to function as a discipline, subdiscipline, or auxiliary science of history or geography. Instead, it becomes a method—or more precisely, a research paradigm—corresponding to the “return to space” in contemporary social sciences and humanities. An important place is given to methodological discussion of previous research and new proposals, as well as to issues related to the application of geographic information systems and spatio-temporal databases (Historical GIS). The journal also enables the dissemination of data underlying publications. The Atlas Fontium section contains articles linked to the presentation of spatial data in an online application. The geographical scope of the journal focuses on the territories of historical Poland and the Polish–Lithuanian Commonwealth, as well as countries closely connected with them, primarily through relations of proximity; this region may also be described as East-Central Europe. The research questions posed by authors should therefore take into account the realities of this area or its constituent parts. Disciplines represented in the journal include history, socio-economic geography, and spatial planning.
