History Chip is revolutionizing the way history is composed. We're providing an interactive platform where all people's stories are valued and included in the epic of history. Everyone is invited to add true first-person historical narratives and readers can explore these unique "chips" of history.
History Chip provides a fully searchable database of stories told by people from all over
the world providing extraordinary opportunities for new and original research as well as a
greater understanding of our global community and humanity.
We want all people to be part of history,
"to have a grand, sweeping narrative that they deserved... Not told as a separate history, but as part of a story we all know. Not at the margins, but at the very center, the protagonists of the drama."
from Margot Lee Shetterly's groundbreaking book Hidden Figures.
