World History Encyclopedia is a non-profit organization publishing the world's most-read history encyclopedia. Our mission is to engage people with cultural heritage and to improve history education worldwide.
The organization is run by a small group of core staff and many volunteers from all over the world, driven by the belief that history is exciting and it should be told not in expensive books, but for free on the internet.
Join us and help over 30 million people learn about history every year, all across the globe. Your work will help students, teachers and members of the public appreciate cultural heritage, widen their horizons and enable them to better understand the globalized world we live in today.
We're always looking for volunteers to help us. Whether you're an academic, a retiree, a student, or a professional; whether you work in a library, in a marketing agency, or in a university... everyone has skills that can help us!
