The authors have developed a method for creating and using spatiotemporal data for electronic atlases, including the concept development, designing the database structure, developing methods for storing, processing and displaying data, as well as their implementation as a historical geoportal. The types of electronic atlases and their characteristics have been listed. The scenarios of using atlases have been considered, as well as a system of controlling, updating, and storing data with due consideration for their spatial and temporal component. The approaches to designing the database structure, indexing, retrieving, and protecting data have been provided. The implementation of the method will allow to obtain spatial data as cartographic works for any historical date and any territory, while the system of continuous data update will allow obtaining current cartographic information. The developed method addresses the issues of spatiotemporal data storage, update, and use in electronic atlas mapping, which will ensure the integration of multitemporal data into a single information space of the area under study.
