Our Mission

DailyHistory.org's goal is to answer historical questions and help readers find well-researched and accessible history articles, book lists, and book reviews. DailyHistory.org was created in 2016 and has had over 7.5 million page views.

The rules are simple:

Every article answers a historical question because that is how historians approach the study of history. DailyHistory.org is not an encyclopedia; it is a site that tries to answer specific historical questions.
Booklists are focused on specific historical topics.
Book reviews only cover books that focus on history, political science, or philosophy.

If you have any questions, you can send them to contact@dailyhistory.org.

 ==Our Mission==
-DailyHistory.org's goal is to answer historical questions and help readers find the best history available.  DailyHistory.org is at its core a wiki. All of the articles on this site will never be finished. Additionally, aside from a few Expert Booklists, all booklists will also be wikis.  We hope to create a community of people who are interested in history and historical research. In addition, to our articles and booklists we will also have author interviews with current historians to help keep up on newest research being done.
