Abstract
Relevance of the topic is due to the prevailing in modern science trend - complex study of society, not only in time but also in space, established thanks to the convergence and integration of Arts and Sciences. The paper aims to describe our own experience of association within the framework of a single information field of full-text data sources, mainly registration, accounting and statistics data (cadastres, scribe and census books) and maps to represent in terms of spatial coordinates the social stratification of the city Sviyazhsk and its surroundings in the XVII century. The leading method in the research of this problem is that of geo-information technologies. The main results of this work were the establishment of historical sources database of the period under study, data formalization of the written sources, compiling the geographic basis of geo-information system (GIS), digitization and creation of vectorized base of geo-data (BGD), which allows to localize and identify the settlement of Sviyazhsk County. The paper materials will be useful for further research and for model development of a settlement structure, farm tenure and land use, social stratification of the population and multifaceted relationships of towns and villages (peasantry) in the Middle Volga area in the second half of the XVII century.

Summary
Possibilities of interdisciplinary researches, multifunctionality of GIS attract the increasing number of historians. Establishment of the international Association “History & Computing” in 1986 stipulated an increase in the historical researches done with application of the information technologies (IT). In Western Europe, North America and Australia large-scale complexes of cartographical historical data and GIS on history of certain continents, countries and regions are created. The Russian branch of the given organization “History & Computing” Association was established in 1992, and in many respects defines the main directions of application of IT for the Russian scientists. A number of researches with the use of GIS have been conducted in national science (Bryukhanova, 2012; Kanishchev, 2012; Khayrutdinov, 2014; Kovaleva, et al, 2015; Shaidullina et al, 2015; Gafiyatullina, et al, 2015). Moscow, Nizhny Novgorod and others became the recognized centers of application of modern computer technologies in humanitarian researches
