Centennia Historical Atlas: DIY Last-minute Gift
It's already Christmas (or a birthday or some other gift-giving day), and it's too late to have a gift copy of the Centennia Historical Atlas delivered to your friend who loves maps and history, but it's the perfect gift. No worries. You can make your own copy on a USB flash drive (thumb drive) and make a nice ready-to-wrap gift box for it, too.
Things you’ll need:
A USB flash drive (any older low-capacity USB will do), a small gift box, packing material (bubble wrap), a color printer, and glue or tape.
Steps:
1: Download Windows or Mac version (or both):
2: Put file(s) on USB flash drive. You can use an old, low-capacity flash drive.
3: Buy a license code. Use code XM8 for a $15 discount:
4: Check your email for the 16-digit license code and print it.
5: Find a gift box. Any size will do. We suggest 8×6×1 inches (or 20×15×3 cm).
6: Wrap the USB flash drive in packing material and place it, along with the printed license code in the gift box.
7: Get cover art and print it:
8: Glue cover art on box. Seal the box.
9: Deliver your gift. Accept praise!

How do I download the free version of Centennia Nations Edition? I do not see a link on the website. Thank you!
Sorry for the confusion, Cynthia! Any of the download links here will get you the free version, Centennia Nations Edition. Then later if you buy and enter an access code that will convert into the complete edition of the Centennia Historical Atlas. So there's just the one download ...

I can't tell you how much I LOVE this atlas. I've been using it for five years in my genealogy research, and there's nothing that compares. If I need to know what was happening in Baden in 1660 or Brittany or Danzig/Gdansk in 1925 or Milan in 1805 or anywhere else at any date... then I can turn to the "Centennia Historical Atlas" for insight. I only wish it covered more centuries, and I'm really looking forward to the version covering the history of North America. Thank you!
