Historical Mapping App

This exhibit deals with the idea that it is easier to perform historical research when you know where you are looking. There is current GIS mapping software available on the Internet that gives portions and parts of what I need, but nothing that addresses all of them. 

In order to make a better mapping tool, the needs of the genealogist involve knowing where the given repositories are for any particular place instantly. Included in this effort is the need for mapping who lived where when, and there are particular ethno-graphic and demo-graphic data details available that when cartographed properly become a rich and viable schema view for not only performing historical research by professors and hobbyists, but for anyone who has a historical interest of any kind. Medical histories, economic history, and literally any and every kind of history may benefit from this tool if someone else has not created it already.
