Welcome
Your Past Awaits
Welcome to the OneTimeline project, an effort collect the world's history and present it in new and exciting ways.
History is incomprehensibly huge, but what if you could open it up and look inside? Imagine being able to look at all of history on a single timeline, like a map of time itself. Zoom in and out, scrub back and forth. Layer searches and make connections you hadn't imagined. Watch a civil war battle unfold. See a second-by-second account of the Apollo 11 moon landing, then learn what was happening at those very moments in Veitnam.
What was happening in New York when you were born? When did electricity come to your city? Who came first - Charles Darwin or Abraham Lincoln? What do bicycles have to do with modern aircraft? What does George Washington have to do with vaccines?
These discoveries and more await, but we need your help.
Think Wikipedia meets history class. To make this work, we need people who are willing to contribute events to the collection. If you have any interest about anything historical and think you can contribute even a little bit, we want your help. If you teach a history class, we want your help. If you are a student in a history class, we want your help. If you read the newspaper, we want your help.
To find out when contribution opportunitites become available, and to learn something fascinating now and then, follow the OneTimeline project on Facebook, Twitter, or subscribe to the newsletter (in the right sidebar).
A new kind of history is just around the corner.
