Summary/Abstract: Cartography as a science discipline is related to a great number of sciences. Practically, there is no scientific field with which cartography can not be tied, i.e. that this scientific discipline can not present the results of through a kind of cartographic presentation. One of the sciences with which cartography has an extremely high degree of connectivity is history. Analyzing the development of society, from the moment when it is thought that man had become a conscious being, we can ask the question whether the letter or the map came first i.e. whether the man first started to write or to cartographically express himself. The historical development of cartography had two key moments, the first being the invention of the printing press, and the second one was connecting cartography with computers. The next level of connectivity is reflected in the structure of the basic method used in cartography, a cartographic method which, in addition to the spatial and substantive, has a time dimension of the examination of scientific categories. This is a very important element in cartographic presentation that has a very wide application. Cartography has a wide range of methods and cartographic expressive means, which provides great opportunities for almost all types of displays of numerous historical trends. SAŽETAK: Kartografija kao naučna disciplina vezana je sa velikim brojem nauka. Praktično da nema naučne oblasti sa kojom se kartografija ne može vezati, tj. da ta naučna disciplina ne može kroz neku vrstu kartografskog prikaza prezentirati rezultate svojih istraživanja. Jedna od nauka sa kojom kartografija ima izuzetno visok stepen povezanosti je istorija. Analizirajući razvoj društva, od momenta kad se smatra da je čovjek postao svjesno biće, možemo postaviti pitanje, da li je prvo postalo pismo, ili je prvo nastala karta, tj. da li je čovjek prvo počeo da piše, ili da se kartografski izražava. Istorijski razvoj kartografije je imao dva ključna momenta, prvi je pronalazak štamparske mašine, a drugi povezivanje kartografije sa informatikom. Sljedeći nivo povezanosti se ogleda u strukturi osnovnog metoda koji se koristi u kartografiji, tzv. kartografskog metoda koji pored prostornog, suštinskog ima i vremensku dimenziju sagledavanja naučnih kategorija. Ovo je veoma važan elemenat u kartografskom predstavljanju koji ima vrlo široku primjenu. Kartografija ima širok spektar metoda i kartografskih izražajnih sredstava, što pruža velike mogućnosti za skoro sve vrste prikaza brojnih istorijskih teka.
