Re-imagining Niagara: Using GIS to Study Local Economic Development (1783 - 1812)
presented by Jessica Linzel
This master's thesis project incorporated the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance the study of economic development in the Niagara area during the post-Revolutionary or "Loyalist" era. The accounts of local farmers and millers, particularly that of Daniel Servos, were used as the foundation of this research. By mapping the historical data and analyzing it alongside geographical features in the Niagara region, GIS technologies brought a fresh perspective to a familiar topic.
