description Using a geographic information system (GIS) to map the past and identify answers to historical questions is becoming increasingly common nowadays. In the case of Toulouse, the teams form the municipal archives and then from FRAMESPA have created the GIS named « UrbanHist », designed both to advance research and to communicate its results to a wide audience. The tool has evolved a lot since it went online in 2003, and is mobilized to answer increasingly diverse questions, which can compromise its coherence and unity. Establishing a structure that is both efficient in answering researchers' questions and flexible enough to embrace the diversity of research is a real challenge, but produces interesting results, as demonstrated by the study of crime in Toulouse during the carnival festival in early-modern times.
