The website site was developed to present basic concepts related to History of Maps for Elementary and High School pupils in Hungary. This homepage is the first member of a collection formed by three sites about three different themes (History of Maps, GIS and multimedia cartography). The research was divided into two main parts: first a theoretical study, second the design and making of the site. The theo-retical research was initiated with the study of curricula, text- and workbooks of dif-ferent subjects mainly related to Geography and History, in the interest of defining the content related to History of Maps that can be presented for the pupils. Later was determined the structure of the content, dividing the chosen themes in chapters or sections, redacting the texts of each theme and selecting the illustrations and ex-amples to be included. Simultaneously was prepared the design and planned the structure of the homepage. This site was presented for the Hungarian teachers and pupils in different national events during 2005
