How our articles are prepared

We aim to build articles around a clear historical question and distinguish dates and events from the interpretations historians debate. Where relevant, articles point readers to primary sources, museum collections, archives, universities and reputable historical scholarship.

• Source transparency: We aim to link to relevant evidence, identify its nature and acknowledge important limitations.
• Context: We avoid assuming that one experience or institution represents an entire century, country or culture.
• Originality: We aim to offer useful explanations and comparisons rather than reproduce other websites’ articles.
• Corrections: Historical understanding changes, and mistakes can occur. We welcome specific factual corrections and supporting sources.

AI assistance and editorial standards

Some material on this site is created or edited with assistance from AI tools. Automated output can introduce factual errors, missing nuance or unsuitable references. We aim to check important claims and improve articles when errors or shortcomings are identified. We do not treat AI-generated text as a historical source.

Some artwork is illustrative rather than a reproduction of a historical object. Where this matters, we aim to identify it clearly in captions or image descriptions.
