Histolines is a Social Network of History organized as an interactive timeline that lets everyone explore over a million historical events.

















Histolines is a vast collection of historical events organized in a social media feed.

The easiest way to navigate history is by people's name and dive deep into their biography looking at all the live events, pictures, and quotes we collected. If you see something is missing or needs improvement you can always add new events refine the existing posts.

In addition to names, we organize similar historical events into collections. A collection is like a hashtag on social media, where we can group multiple posts by different people into a single historical collection of events. For example World War One can be viewed as a collection of events by different people and countries, so we collected them into one Collection. Find the other Collections.

Most Histolines events are tagged with dates. This allows us to look up events that happened On This Day or on this year or on any other year or time period. giving us almost a power to time travel.
