About the OneTimeline Project

"To collect and organize the world's history on a single timeline."

Like the best goals, ours is both ambitious and exciting.  Picture it:  all the world's history laid out before your eyes in a way that's easy to search and understand.

Would you be surprised to know that Charles Darwin and Abraham Lincoln were both born the same year, in 1809?  Or that Noah Webster published his first dictionary (1806) without the aid of a typewriter, which didn't come along until 1808?  History is full of such surprises, and this project is being built to find them.

Historical search can be difficult, but it doesn't have to be.  We want to collect every relevant event in human history, so that you can search it and learn from it in a whole new way.  History presented like this promisies to provide a richer context and more complete understanding of not only what was happening alongside an event, but also what influenced it and what it may have influenced.  It really is an exciting prosepect.

OneTimeline is in its infancy, but we've still managed to collect nearly 25,000 events.  We need magnitudes more than that, though, and we're hoping you'll pitch in.  Besides just being able to search history, we've got much more awesome planned for the near future.  We can't wait to show you what's in store, but we need your help.  VIsit the Contribute page to learn more.
