A plan gives your reading a shape: a set list of chapters and a clear finish line. Start one and your progress is tracked in YOUR PROGRESS above — one plan at a time, stop whenever you like.
When a new atlas opens, we send one short email — what it covers and where to start. Nothing else, ever.

Built for people who want history argued, not just listed. A few of the ways it gets used:
Every atlas is tagged to the syllabus. Chapter questions and field exams are written like Paper 2 answers — the argument shown, not just the result.
Project any atlas, assign the exams, and hand out printable chapter summaries. One membership covers your classroom; whole-school licences by email.
A term of history in one place — narrative, geography and testing — with hard subjects handled soberly. One membership serves the household.
You want the why — argued from evidence, with the uncertainty named — and you would rather own the maps than scroll another feed.
You know the 1941 map. Here is the doctrine, logistics and blunders behind every front line — then prove it on the field exam.
Give a membership, or a lifetime Patron place — the recipient’s name printed in the credits of every future atlas.
Counted from the atlas files themselves — not rounded up. And three panels lifted straight from inside an atlas, so you can see what a chapter, an exam and a study sheet actually look like.
Each chapter is a camera move: the map flies to the front, the borders change under you, and the causes are argued — not asserted.
France fell in six weeks despite having more tanks than Germany. The best explanation is —
Oil, again · A name worth an army? · The Atlantic pipeline
Operation Uranus, 19–23 November — the pincers aim not at the Sixth Army but at the Romanian armies guarding its flanks.
Why did Hitler forbid the Sixth Army to break out of the pocket while escape was still possible?
One membership opens all thirteen atlases — and every new one the day it lands. The WW2 atlas is free in full, and chapters 1–2 of every other atlas are free to sample; everything else is included when you join.

Most history arrives as text — a corridor of names and dates. But the questions that matter are spatial: why there, why then, what next door made it possible? Commanders understood this; that is why they stood over map tables. Maps of History puts you at that table.
Each atlas is built like a period instrument and written like a modern seminar: real cartography, primary chronology, causes argued rather than asserted, and the honest uncertainty of the record — casualty ranges, debated turning points, simplified borders — acknowledged on the map itself.
No ads, no third-party tracking. Every atlas is one self-contained document — save the page and it is yours offline, and members keep every file even after they cancel.
