Click on a title to go to start of a History, or click the icon to see its sections

The site contains more than 400 narrative Histories, weaving through time and often interconnecting. They can be viewed in two ways, Plain Text or Interactive.

Plain Text The Histories are seen as continuous text. They can be read like a conventional online article and can be printed out. This is the version you first arrive at.

Interactive Here you can do each of these on a single click

  • take a fast track through time by moving from a History to the same moment in a thematic Tour
  • move to WhatWhenWhere to see what was happening elsewhere
  • join a History exactly where any selected event is described

Whether you are in Plain Text or Interactive, a click will take you to the same text in the other format.
