Dailyhistory.org was created in 2016, and it is a site dedicated to answering historical questions. Sometimes these questions address broad historical issues while others focus on much smaller stories.

DailyHistory.org will also publish booklists and book reviews from current historians and interviews with authors. The booklists will give users an opportunity to see what historians consider to be the most critical and innovative books in their fields. The author interviews will give current historians a chance to introduce new ideas and questions to the community.

I hope you enjoy DailyHistory.org.
