Our Mission

DailyHistory.org's goal is to answer historical questions and help readers find well-researched and accessible history articles, booklists, and book reviews. DailyHistory.org is a heavily curated wiki.

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 site that tries answer specific historical questions. Phrase the title of your article as a QUESTION and use a question mark.
Booklists are focused on specific historical topics.
Book reviews only cover books that focus on history, political science or philosophy.
Everything is to be original.

If you have any questions you can send them to [email protected].

 ==Our Mission==
-DailyHistory.org's goal is to answer historical questions and help readers find the well-researched history.  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.
