HistoryWorld
HistoryWorld is an interactive online history
HistoryWorld currently consists of about 300 narratives and some 10,000 events on searchable timelines.[1] All the content (apart from "The Wellcome History of Medicine", by Dr Carole Reeves)[10] has been written by Gascoigne.[11]
The HistoryWorld website, which is free to use, also contains more than 5000 entries from Gascoigne's Encyclopedia of Britain, originally published by Macmillan in 1993,[12] and a pilot project, Places in History for Richmond-upon-Thames, which uses placemarks in Google Maps to identify the exact position of a building, street or other feature, with a satellite view of the location. The maps then link to pages in HistoryWorld for historical details, images and timelines.[13]
