Euratlas

Euratlas is a Switzerland-based software company dedicated to elaborate digital history maps of Europe.[1] Founded in 2001, Euratlas has created a collection of history maps of Europe from year 1 AD to year 2000 AD that present the evolution of every country from the Roman Empire[2] to present times. The evolution includes sovereign states and their administrative subdivisions, but also unorganized peoples[3] and dependent territories. The maps show European country borders at regular intervals of 100 years, but not year by year.[4] This leaves out many important turning points in history.

Euratlas is considered a digital humanities company, and a scholar research software[5] used in the field of historic cartography.[6] It is broadly known among American and European universities, who mainly use Euratlas as a research tool and as a digital library atlas.[7][8]
