Abstract [eng] In its broad sense, the research object is investigation of all geography and history atlases used by the Lithuanian schools. The object in the proper sense is investigation of the systems of cartographic signs used in the Lithuanian school geography and history atlases. The general goal of the present dissertation is to contribute to improvement of the quality of educational cartographic production. The specific objective is to improve the systems of cartographic signs used in the Lithuanian school geography and history atlases giving recommendations as to compilation of maps and standardisation of cartographic symbols. Standardisation of the system of cartographic signs used in the maps of school geography and history atlases is neglected both in Lithuania and other countries. Therefore, the relevance of the present study to cartographic sciences seems evident. The system of cartographic signs developed following the semiotic rules and principles of psycho visual perception and based on the individual results can be used in school geography and history maps.
