AB  - This paper presents the first results provided by the HGIS of 19th century Porto on causes of death. Publicly accessible death certificates and burial tickets from 1868 onwards were digitized and transcribed for the purpose of a broader research project regarding mortality in the municipality of Porto. The mosaic that composed the municipality of Porto included a fast-growing city, shifting from a secular commercial hub to an industrial centre, contrasting modern urban development with late medieval neighbourhoods, a secondary urban centre and rural settings. This context provides a thrilling diversity reflected in the historical GIS of death in Porto, allowing analytical perspectives that combine socioeconomic information of the deceased and location of death with several relevant variables such as urban density, housing conditions, environmental exposure and access to basic services.
