The purpose of this paper is to discuss present and future research trends in historical geography based on the results of the Sixth International Conference of Historical Geographers held in July, 1986. Around 110 historical geographers from more than 10 countries participated and 63 papers for 21 subjects were presented at the conference. The International Conference of Historical Geographers is not the only opportunity for the world's geographers to get together, but it is the one and only active international meeting for historical geographers as a speciality group. The origin of the ICHG was the meeting of historical geographers in the United Kingdom and Canada in 1975, and the meeting was enlarged to English-speaking historical geographers and named CUKANZUS in 1979. The Sixth meeting of CUKANZUS in 1986 was opened to historical geographers other than from English-speaking countries and the name was changed to the International Conference of Historical Geographers. The participants in this conference discussed the organizing of the International Association of Historical Geographers and inviting historical geographers from other countries especially Japanese and Chinese historical geographers, to the next meeting. The development of historical geography was somewhat retarded until the 1970s compared with the development of other subfields of geography. In recent years, however, the growth of historical geography has made much progress through the diversification of research subjects, areas and periods, and the application of new approaches by many historical geographers. That is, besides the traditional methodology-mere description and interpretation, newly-developed approaches have been applied in research since the late 1970s-statistical approaches using the computer for gathering, classifying, analyzing and mapping of data; theoretical approaches using theories and theoretical models; and behavioral approaches analyzing perceptions and the environment from the viewpoint of past peoples. With these changes, historical geography, reconstructing the past geography of a certain place in a certain past period and tracing geographical changes of a certain place through time, has been changed from an egoistic and closed attitude discipline to a cooperative and open-minded attitude discipline. Moreover, many research papers and books have been published reflecting the changing trends of historical geography from the late 1970s. In conclusion, it can be said that the present state of historical geography is of a preparation stage for a take-off in its history, because historical geographers tend to pursue interdisciplinary and cooperative research on an international basis, and try to apply newly-developed approaches in their research. If historical geographers maintain these attitudes in their research and overcome the difficulties in using different languages among scholars from different countries, historical geography will develop rapidly. The future of historical geography is therefore considered to be very bright.
