We can draw custom historical maps in a variety of formats,
projections, and appearances. A sample will be drawn to your
specifications and a price for all the maps you want will be
quoted. There is a minimum charge for the sample. There will
be a base price per map plus whatever options you select. Once
you approve the sample and accept the price, all maps ordered
will be produced and shipped on CD within 5 business days. Please
review the information below.

Special License
You must purchase a non-exclusive license to modify the custom
maps or display them in any way for public use.
There will be a fee for a special non-exclusive license to
use and distribute the maps in another form or on another web
site for each set of 1000 years of maps. Additional licenses
are required for additional maps, or different sets of maps.
Our web site (www.worldhistorymaps.com) must be credited as the
source of the maps as well.
Years
Our standard is to produce one map for each year in a given
range. Other options are available for the custom maps however.
We can produce a map for every other year, or every 3 years,
or any interval you choose. We can also produce maps for years
at non-regular intervals (you must provide the list of years)
but there is an additional charge for this option.
Other Customization
Additional customization can be done. For example, you may
want the borders to be narrower to to be dashed. Any such customization
must apply consistently to all maps and will involve additional
charges.
