Once upon a time, I loved reading picture books at the local library. Today, I’m still fascinated about stories that happened “a long, long time ago” from “lands far, far away”. When I decided to study History again, I wanted to create something to help me. This was how HistoryMaps started.
History is Fun
Learning History involves remembering dates, places, people, and events (who, what, where and when). Remembering things for the sake of remembering is boring! I thought there has to be a better way to learn, remember what I’ve learned…and make it fun!
History is a Story
Most history websites prioritize SEO over providing meaningful educational content; they are just awful! Wikipedia is the only relevant online History resource out there, but its thematic organization can make it challenging to follow a narrative sequentially. To understand the full context, you must navigate across various pages. I craft each story by curating events in a chronological timeline so it has a clear beginning, middle and an end.
