What if history was an ever-expanding perspective where anyone was free to interpret,
extend and connect their own ideas and stories to the Big Picture?

What if you could discover, interact and share millions of the most interesting original
sources from the world’s greatest archives as easily as getting your email?

Internet, relating to the Revolutionary War, Civil War, WWI, WWII, US Presidents,
historical newspapers, naturalization documents, and many more.
