HistoryWitness

Experience historical events from the perspective of different participants

EducationFree

HistoryWitness presents historical events through first-person narrative accounts written from the perspectives of different participants — a soldier and a general, a factory worker and an industrialist, a colonizer and an indigenous person. The tool uses primary source material to ground perspectives in documented experiences and explicitly notes where narrative gaps required informed speculation. History teachers use it to develop empathy and multiperspectivity, critical skills for historical thinking.
