TimeMaps Atlas of World History
What TimeMaps Atlas of World History is
TimeMaps Atlas of World History is a web atlas for exploring history from 3500 BCE to the early 21st century. It brings together more than 1,000 maps about world, regional, country, and civilization histories. Its core atlas follows twenty shared dates at world, regional, and country levels, while an accompanying encyclopedia provides more detailed topic coverage. Extension Units add deeper map sequences about selected historical episodes and developments; these units are part of the Premium service, while the atlas itself remains free to use. TimeMaps presents the atlas as a resource for teachers and students, including classroom presentations and student projects. Interactive timelines are included. Its listed yearly plans range from Single User at $24.99 a year to Whole Institution at $299.99 a year; teacher plans include a 7-day free trial. TimeMaps has paused new Premium subscriptions and says existing subscriptions will be supported until they expire. The usage guide identifies Central Asia as a gap in map coverage, with plans to add it in due course.
