Abstract: The cartographic document is a representation of the territory in a given period of time, as well as the representation of information of structured and organized way. Thus, the historical cartographic documents are an important source of information on understanding and study of the territory. The technological advances of the last decades potentiated the application of the potential of geographic information systems in streamlining and simplifying management processes and manipulation of cartographic documents and historical data. The interaction of the potential of geographic information systems with the insertion of cartography and historical data are an important resource for research and understanding of territorial processes. In the present dissertation, it is intended to apply the potential of GIS in the study of historical cartography, as well as additional historic information for this, allowing one another approach to the study of historical cartographic documents, intending to simplify the handling process, management and inserting new information, providing the visualization of the diverse information stored. Given this, it proceeded to the development of a geographical database of historical cartography of Portugal, taking as a case study the Porto city, in the historical period in perspective goes from 1892 to the present day. The geographic database of historical cartography is outlined in order to contain not only information relating to historic urban cartographic documents, as well as different information, including administrative boundaries of Portugal, data relative to the constructed buildings and aerial photographs, expanding as well, the levels of analysis of the evolution of the territory. It was also intended to build a search interface, using python programming language, in order to enable the user visualize of the available information in the spatial database of historical cartography, thus constituting a further contribution in the study and understanding the territory.
