A Message from Thomas Lessman:
"The main reason I'm on Wikipedia is because I appreciate its potential to improve our understanding of history. During my studies of history, I've been disappointed by the lack of comprehensive maps that cover wide areas during specific years."
"These maps cover the old world (or at least the Eastern Hemisphere) during key eras of history. It's a huge project, possibly the largest online collection of historical maps that cover such a wide area over so many years. And it would be a shame to keep these maps to myself. Sure I could make some money from them, but I believe in sharing information (especially if it helps others learn more about history)! So I've made the maps available for free at www.WorldHistoryMaps.info, and uploaded many of them to help enhance Wikipedia history articles."
