About

We believe  history is directly relevant to our daily lives and the skills that a historian must cultivate are skills that are demanded in many facets of our lives. Historical inquiry is a journey of exploration and discovery; it is not a simple matter of memorizing facts and figures, and history should be accessible to all, especially the twenty-first century learner.

History to the People is a website that provides academically produced information on American history to a popular audience, with a particular goal of attracting high school and undergraduate students. The site will provide accessible and engaging entries on key historical events, themes, and questions and will also experiment with creative ways of presenting historical information, such as videos, podcasts, and interactive infographics.

Now accepting submissions and donations for our spring 2013 launch. Thank you for your support!

“In a world in which self-interest, individualism, and even narcissism reign supreme, history forces us to see ourselves as part of a larger human story. “
