Database of the month September – World History Encyclopedia

What it is:

A web based encyclopedia, sharing an array of historical topics and narratives through text, video, interactive features, and social media.

Every submission to the encyclopedia is carefully reviewed by our editorial team, making sure only the highest quality content is published to our site. Our publication follows academic standards, but it is written in an easy-to-read manner with students and the general public in mind.

There are also audio versions for all articles (very beneficial for students with learning difficulties) and we also publish videos and podcasts… all for free.

We have no agenda or political affiliation: Our mission is to engage people with cultural heritage and improve history education worldwide.

Founded in 2009 under the name Ancient History Encyclopedia, until it changed its name to the World History Encyclopedia in 2021.

Who it’s for: all students and academics, especially those interested in or studying history, or need a historical context for their assignments.
