Membership opens every atlas in the collection — Rome, the Crusades and the Mongols to both World Wars, revolutions on three continents, and the Cold War — plus every new one the day it lands, with the full offline archive, printable study packs, and the complete field exams. Most readers take Personal Annual at £89 a year; a monthly plan at £12.99 is there if you’d rather try it first. The WW2 atlas is free to sample.
Checkout runs through Stripe — card in, receipt out. Then sign in with Google or your email and every atlas is unlocked; your account remembers you across visits.
Annual plans and up include the full offline archive: every atlas as one self-contained file that works without us, plus the printable study packs and the complete exam sets. New atlases reach your inbox the day they open. (Monthly readers get everything online, plus two file downloads a month.)
More maps are planned — across Europe, the Americas, Africa and Asia, following the IB History syllabus. Before each one is started, members vote on which comes first.
Everything is included on every membership — no add-ons, no upsells, no “premium” history. The plans differ only in who they cover and how the files arrive. All prices in pounds sterling.
Not sure yet? Open the WW2 atlas free — the whole thing, no card and no sign-up — then come back and unlock the rest.
Type your name and the paper takes it. This is the standing your account will carry — every atlas open, on any device you sign into.
STAYS IN YOUR BROWSER — NOTHING IS SENT ANYWHERE UNTIL YOU CHECK OUT.
Built for the run-up to the papers: eight weeks of access to the syllabus-relevant atlases, the field exams, and the printable revision guides. The full £19 is credited toward Personal Annual if you decide to stay on afterwards.
THE GUARANTEE. Thirty days, full refund, no questions and no forms — one line by email and it is done, on every plan. Anything already delivered stays yours. And if you start monthly and later take a year, the months you’ve paid are credited toward it.
The files outright, without a membership: every atlas currently in the collection as self-contained offline files, with the printable packs. Future atlases are not included — this buys the shelf as it stands today. If you want the new maps as they open, Personal Annual is the better deal.
Maps of History runs on the least machinery we could get away with. Here it is, all of it, in the open:
The Second World War atlas is free to sample — the full thing, no card and no sign-up. Membership opens every other atlas in the collection and every new one as it lands, plus the printable study packs, the complete field exams, and a vote on what we build next.
Monthly (£12.99) opens every atlas online and includes two atlas file downloads a month. Personal Annual (£89) and every plan above it include the full offline archive — every atlas as a self-contained file that works without an internet connection or us — plus the printable study packs and the full field exams. Teacher (£149) adds classroom or household use, printable lesson packs, and exam sets with answer keys. School (£699) covers up to a department’s teachers and their classes.
Yes, and by a wide margin. Twelve months at £12.99 comes to £155.88; Personal Annual is £89 — about 43% less — and it includes the full offline archive, which monthly does not. If you start monthly and switch, the months you’ve paid are credited toward the year.
Please do. The WW2 sample may be projected and assigned freely. For your own classes, the Teacher / Homeschool plan (£149/year) covers one teacher or one family, with lesson packs and answer keys. A whole department is the School plan (£699/year) — self-serve, paid by card or school purchasing card in one session, with an invoice-ready receipt from Stripe. Email us only for the unusual cases: district-wide or multi-school licensing.
£19, once, for eight weeks of access built around revision season — April and May for AP, May and November for IB. It opens the syllabus-relevant atlases, the field exams, and the printable revision guides. If you upgrade to Personal Annual afterwards, the full £19 is credited toward it — the sprint effectively becomes a deposit.
A one-time purchase (£249) for collectors who want the files outright, without a membership: every atlas currently in the collection as self-contained offline files, with the printable packs. Future atlases are not included — it buys the shelf as it stands today. Most readers are better served by Personal Annual, which costs less and keeps growing.
Thirty days, full refund, no questions — one line by email is enough, on every plan. Cancelling later is a single click on any receipt. Everything already delivered stays on your shelf either way.
