In September 2016, the Institute for Transnational & Spatial History hosted a workshop engaged with analytical approaches, themes, and sources in the emerging field of spatial history. It marked the first step towards a new volume to be published in the series “Routledge Guides to Using Historical Sources”. Volumes in this series are designed as a teaching tool, and address methodological and interpretive questions on the basis of a sustained engagement with one or more primary sources. In keeping with the guiding principles of this series, the workshop explored ways of doing and practising spatial history, on the basis of a variety of primary sources, and informed by different analytical perspectives. Now a second, editing workshop will be held to share feedback and ideas on pre-submitted draft chapters for the new volume. Each draft chapter highlights the challenges and opportunities of using particular kinds of sources, and seeks to demonstrate the added value of a spatial history perspective compared to more traditional approaches in established fields such as historical geography and urban history.
