The growing use of geographic information systems (GIS) and geographical analyses in different areasof the digital humanities highlights the need for geocoding, i.e. assigning geographic coordinates torecords in a dataset. Such spatially-referenced datasets are a precondition for any spatial analysis andvisualization. While GIS in general is a dynamically evolving branch of software development, thereis a need for specialized applications which would assist researchers in geocoding datasets in history, archaeology, and the digital humanities. Therefore, we developed the ‘‘Historical Geocoding Assistant’’, an open-source web tool that meets the specific needs of historical research and brings a solution togeocoding historical data in a convenient, fast, and reliable way.
