Please note that companies providing "multiple-subject" items including history and geography materials are listed on the Multi-subject page.

The companies listed below may sell other items, but their MAIN focus is specifically history and geography related.

A Child's Geography
A geography curriculum that includes notebooking and hands-on activities. You can read the first few chapters (with their corresponding activities) online for FREE.

Connecting Waters Vendor Bluestocking Press History books, toys, crafts, "documents" and more. We like their Uncle Eric books (you should at least read "Whatever Happened to Penny Candy")!!! Main products: history

Connecting Waters Vendor Dirty Old Coins You can order ancient coins here and clean them. This is an excellent hands-on activity to with a study of ancient Rome and actually quite affordable! Main product: history

Geography Matters This site sells materials to teach geography. Main products: geography

History Scribe "History Scribe is: A great way to learn about history with research, writing and drawing. Children learn by rewriting and drawing what they have learned in their own words and images." Main products: History

Hold That Thought A site for notebooking supplies, timelines, geography and history materials. We personally love the notebooking approach! Main products: History, geography

Jackdaw Publications These are NEAT but expensive. Basically you get a pack of "primary source document" reproductions. They make excellent additions to whatever you might be studying history-wise. Main products: history

Knowledge Quest "Historical outline maps and timelines designed for the interactive study of world history and geography." There are also timeline materials and more. Check out their FREE sampler.

Mystery of History
"Created as a guide through the annals of time, The Mystery of History will lead all ages clearly through the labyrinth that many find this subject to be. Up until now, most world history and bible history have been separated. Linda Hobar has taken the initiative to tell the whole story in a way that few have before. With a classical approach, she weaves the story line together of both world and Bible history in Volume I. Subsequent volumes continue to weave the message of the Gospel through the ages. "

Nothing New Press Learn history through literature, not boring textbooks! Main products: History

Peace Hill Press This is where you get the widely acclaimed Story of the World series of books. We have used every level of Story of the World and highly recommend them! Main products: history, language arts, classical education

A personal favorite Social Studies School Service When I first received one of their catalogs, I was impressed with the amount of social studies materials available. You will get all sorts of good ideas for teaching history, geography, etc. I especially appreciate the higher level materials available (high school, AP exam, etc.) as these are less commonly found in exclusively "homeschool" catalogs. Main products: history, geography, economics
