About
Histropedia
Histropedia exists to make history easier to explore, compare, and understand through interactive timelines.
Histropedia began with a simple belief: history becomes more intuitive when you can see events in time, move through them naturally, and compare stories side by side. That belief still shapes everything we build.
The long-term vision is the Timeline of Everything — a place where anyone can search a vast library of timelines, layer them side by side, and explore topics, places, and personal stories in one shared interface.
Underneath it all sits HistropediaJS, our timeline engine, which already powers interactive timelines for museums, universities, and cultural organisations around the world.
Timeline of Everything
Our flagship product: one place to search, layer, and explore timelines across subjects and stories. Currently being rebuilt from the ground up.
HistropediaJS
The timeline engine behind everything we build, available for organisations that want rich, interactive timelines of their own.
Long-Term Focus
Tools that help people learn, teach, research, and discover by making time-based information easier to navigate.
Histropedia has always been strongly influenced by the open knowledge ecosystem around Wikipedia and Wikidata. Those projects make it possible to connect facts, dates, places, and biographies at a scale that would otherwise be impossible.
Our aim is not just to collect information, but to present it in a form that makes patterns and relationships easier to see. Timelines are powerful because they reveal overlap, sequence, cause and effect, and the wider context behind a single story.
