Teachers and parents: web resources relating to early maps


This page was created on 18 March 2002 and updated thereafter

There are numerous sites offering links for teachers, on the one hand, or for maps on the other. Since there does not seem to be any site that brings together (for the benefit of teachers or parents) web-based educational materials relating to the history of maps, a systematic search was carried out on the web. No responsibility for the content of the sites linked below can be taken by the author of this page (who has no experience of teaching).
