Historical Atlas of the World is a historical atlas that contains 108 color maps showing religious boundaries, countries, cities, buildings, army movements and expeditions.

It contains an index to place, peoples, historical and military events and explorers.

Covers the span from 3000 BC to ~1970 (Rhodesia, not Zimbabwe; Pakistan, not Bangladesh; North and South Vietnam) In 1962, the Norwegian publishing house Cappelen issued an historical atlas in conjunction with the series Menneskenes liv og historie, popularly known as Grimberg's world history.

In addition to 108 maps, it contained a registry of state leaders.
