Notable Museums, Respected Organizations, and Trusted Experts

Our resources are developed and supported by a collaborative partnership with trusted history and civics-focused museums and organizations, including Colonial Williamsburg, iCivics, the National Constitution Center, and George Washington’s Mount Vernon. Our closed beta content was authored by in-service teachers with guidance and final review from William & Mary education professors. Additionally, Historians from the Organization of American Historians vet all our materials and videos, so you can pull assets from history.org knowing they’re reliable and credible.
