History and Geography (Maps)
Modern and Contemporary History – Chronologies – Maps and Atlases
This page provides a set of links on History and Geography (Maps), with brief comments on each link. The main criterion for deciding on whether a web site is included was its usefulness to researchers, students and journalists. For their inclusion, of greater importance than the organisations responsible for them was the existence of free access databases, scientific articles, bibliographies, maps, statistics, reports, resource lists and meta links on the respective topic. Inclusion of these web sites does not imply endorsement of the viewpoints expressed therein, or the proposed typologies or classifications. The quality is heterogeneous, ranging from medium to excellent. For any comments or suggestions for additions, please contact the editor.
This page is part of the web site MENEN (Resources for the Study of the Nation, Ethnicity and Nationalism). If you arrived here through a link at some other site, please visit our Selected Bibliographies on Nations and Nationalism, or our Home page.
