Abstract
Building Historical Geographic Information System fits in the requirements of academic development and it promotes the growth of history research in depth and breadth. As a system for historical information storage, display and management, recently, we noticed that the more GIS platforms we build, the more obviously it promotes the research of Chinese history, especially in the major issues of history. And more importantly, what GIS contributes to history is that it motivates the concept innovation of history research and the reformation of analyzing methods. Due to this system, divers documents including literatures, maps, remote-sensing images and archaeological relics could be used in the course of historical exploration, supporting experts in accomplishing dynamic tracing and achieving comprehensive studies. Besides, HGIS researching methodology has improved the GIS technology in turn.
