The Map as History

At The Map as History, we use animated maps to bring history to life, often focusing on a single region to illustrate developments over time. To date, we have published over 230 animated maps, making us the largest animated online atlas. Our series permit you to learn about many regions - from the Americas, to India, to Europe, Africa, and the Middle East. 

Schools and universities all over the world use our maps to further learning in and out of the classroom, while students use our maps to better understand complex historical facts. As an individual or a history buff, you can use our maps to enjoy history in a novel way, with greater geographical understanding.

We work with a global team of historians and specialists to ensure that our maps are relevant, up-to-date, and accurate.

We created this channel so that you can test out some of our maps. For more information and content, head to our website!
