History Chip is revolutionizing the way history is composed. We're providing an
interactive platform where all people’s stories are
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.
