About
We are a non-profit organization publishing World History Encyclopedia, the world's most-read history encyclopedia. Our mission is to engage people with cultural heritage and to improve history education worldwide. Every month, millions of students, teachers, history enthusiasts, and travelers use the website to learn about history.
Studying history helps us gain a more nuanced understanding of the world we live in today. Our knowledge and interpretation of history shape how we define ourselves as nations and as cultures, and it influences how we see and interact with other cultures. We help people across the globe gain a deeper, fundamental knowledge of our interconnected human past in order to create curious, open-minded, and tolerant societies in the future.

Non-Profit Organization
World History Encyclopedia is a non-profit organization registered in both the United Kingdom and Canada.
We help teachers, students, and schools by providing them with reliable, easy-to-read, and high-quality resources entirely for free. By creating an engaging and exciting encyclopedia, we have inspired millions to learn more about human civilization and our shared past.
We live in an age where xenophobia and nationalism are on the rise, both of which only serve to separate people of different nations and cultures through suspicion, fear, and even hate. We can help people understand other cultures and reduce their fears by encouraging them to better understand world history, each culture’s heritage, and how cultures relate to each other.
