Portsmouth, United Kingdom #!"#" Reino Unido ) Dominic Fontana is Senior Lecturer in Geography at the University of Portsmouth and is a Fellow of the Royal Geographical Society. As a mature student he read for a BA in Geography at Portsmouth Polytech- nic and then continued his studies, taking his PhD at University of Portsmouth, during which time he also became a lecturer in Geography. !"#$%"&$'&($)&*!"%%"&+,-$'$*&.,"/%0&1,"&2"$3$)(&4!$#.!5)&1,"&Z7%&5%!")&1,##,.$'8&.($*(9&(%&):%'3&Z7%&5%!")& working as archaeological photographer on the Mary Rose project.

He is also working on a project with The Royal Collection to better understand two of Henry VIII’s major historical paintings. +,-$'$*&>,'3!'!& &:",1%)),"&',&0%:!"3!-%'3,&0%&@%,8"!Z!&0!&A'$7%")$0!0%&0%&B,"3)-,=3(&C4%$',&A'$0,D9& e é membro da Royal Geographic Society. Doutorado pela Universidade de Portsmouth. Trabalhou na British Railways no inicio da sua carreira, tendo depois participado no projecto de recuperação do navio Mary Rose. Participou na produção de diversos documentários sobre arqueologia. Atualmente está a investigar a batalha de Solent (Julho de 1545), em que o navio Mary Rose se afundou, assim como um projeto da The Royal Collection sobre as pinturas históricas de Henrique VIII. Abstract Resumo Railways, and their associated industrial archaeology, are an area of immense fascination to me as I began my working career as a railwayman at the age of 16. Railroads in historical context: construction, costs and consequences Consequently, I must be one of very few academics who have used much of the 19th century railway technology in a real world context as part of a national railway system. After the railway, I worked on the maritime archaeological project to exca- vate and recover the remains of Henry VIII’s warship Mary Rose and subsequently, as an academic geographer specialising in the application of GIS technology to archaeological and historical studies. This unusual combination of career experience has provided considerable insight into the complexity of data, which arises from both archaeological and historical study within a spatial, geographical context. This paper considers some of the potential range of data which may be held within a GIS and offers some suggestions for innovative approaches for the utilisation of such data within historical, archaeological, cultural and railway projects. GIS technology is considered as an enabling technology which can assist researchers by providing an exploratory “tool for thought”.
