4. Historical Atlases
Below is a list of major, recently-published sources. In general, to find historical atlases, a good approach is to search in the Online Catalog using the subject terms "historical geography". For example:
- Thrace --Historical geography.
- Macedonia --Historical geography.
- Serbia --Historical geography.
Or try subject words "history" and "maps". For example:
- Middle East --History --Maps.
Not all of the books retrieved will be atlases, but many will be and most at least will include maps.

Historical Atlas of Islam byCall Number: Q. 911.1767 R935hISBN: 0674013859Publication Date: 2004This atlas extends from the time of Muhammad to the 2003 Iraq war. Ninety-four full-color maps and more than fifty pictures of Islamic art and architecture are pulled together by well-informed and relatively brief text (about sixty chapters, most lavishly illustrated, are covered in slightly less than two hundred pages). In addition to broad coverage of Islamic history, the religious diversity among Muslims, and political current flash points, there is attention to the Crusades, European colonialism, mosques in the United States, Islamic arts, and even Muslim cinema and Internet use. (from Currents in Theology and Mission review)
"All the standard historical material is here, plus premodern military recruitment patterns, Muslims in world trade and exploration, Islam beyond the Middle East (including the US and Europe), and the often-overlooked importance of Central Asia, as examples." (from CHOICE review by S. Isaac) -
