404 maps in this collection
Historical maps are snapshots of power. Borders that look permanent today were drawn, redrawn and erased over centuries, and these maps capture particular moments: Greece on the eve of the Peloponnesian War, the Ottoman Empire in 1900, Oudh during the Indian uprising of 1857, the Pacific theatre of the Second World War and the Pala Empire of medieval Bengal.
The collection also includes transport and city history, from the early Singapore MRT network to a Republican-era map of China and the medieval Peloponnese. Each guide places the map in its period and summarises the events behind it.
