Talessman’s Atlas of World History
Homepage

     Welcome to Talessman's Atlas of World History! I'm Thomas Lessman, an amateur historian with over 20 years of experience researching world history. I've had a passion for history ever since childhood, especially in designing historical maps. It would be a shame to let my research go to waste, so I decided to share my work and knowledge through this website.

* Update 2-14-10: I haven't forgotten about the maps! It's been several months since I've had a chance to work on them; personal matters are currently more urgent. Not to worry, the project will resume in time!

License/Permissions update: Apparently I've been confused about correct licensing and usage of these maps. I will research proper licensing when I get a chance. In the meantime, this is may help: I have no problem with people using these maps in projects such as classroom assignments, bible studies, personal projects, etc. Any open-source or free projects (ex: Wikipedia, LiberKey, etc) may use these maps as needed. Teachers may use these maps to help with their classroom activities. THE ONLY REQUIREMENTS I have are: 1. You must include source information (Author: Thomas Lessman, Source Website: www.WorldHistoryMaps.info. 2. If you alter the maps, you must get my permission, and 3. Any use of these maps for projects that are not free or open-source (including books, games, etc.) must have my permission and may have to pay for usage.

For any other questions, comments, requests, etc., you may email me at talessman@worldhistorymaps.info. Please be patient and do not expect an immediate response!


<-- Use this navigation menu to browse the site. Some pages are not finished; please be patient, I'm working on the site as time permits!

     The Maps page has a list of my world history maps. For convenience, the maps are divided into 5 eras: Prehistoric, Primeval, Ancient, Medieval, and Modern).

* Read About the Maps for licensing and usage information!

     The Sources section is a list of references for the information depicted on the maps. Currently stored on 3 long pages, I plan to split them into 5 or more easily managed sections.

     The Updates page is where I try to list recent changes (when I have time to update the page!).

     I'm working on some new sections, but they are FAR from complete. The History section will contain articles about historical peoples & nations. The Timelines section will have detailed lists of events in chronological order. And the Alternate-History section will show some of my stories and maps about fictional worlds where history turned out differently than in ours.

     My Links page contains a list of my favorite history-related websites and resources. I've also added a Bookmarks page that contains a huge list of links saved from my FireFox Bookmarks menu.
