It is a proven fact that using historical outline maps help cement historical and geographical facts for students and adults alike.  Just knowing that Alexander the Great conquered the whole known world is simply not enough.  Seeing this enormous ancient empire on paper gives visual and non-visual students an edge in their learning.

You may be thinking to yourself, "But can't I find most of what I want online... for FREE?"

The answer is quite frankly NO.  Trust me... I used to spend countless hours scouring the Internet for the appropriate printable map for our history lesson.  Sometimes BINGO I would find just what I was looking for.  But more often than not, there would be something about the map that I wished I could change.  Maybe we were studying the United Kingdoms of Italy and the boundaries of the territories were not there.  Or maybe we were studying South America during the times of the Spanish conquistadors and the only maps I could find had current political boundaries or no boundaries at all.

In fact, it was because of all the time I was searching for maps online, that I decided to create some for my own students' use.  It was at this time that Susan Wise Bauer requested to use these original hand-drawn maps for her new Story of the World series.  We agreed and you can say, the rest is history.  Since then (that was 2001) we have greatly improved the quality of the maps using vector graphics.  Let's just say these computer generated maps are cleaner, clearer and easier to use than the original ones.
