History you can zoom into. Every event cited.
The deep dives you usually get from video essays, fan wikis, and confident summaries, rebuilt with the receipts attached: timelines, guides, and icebergs where every event shows its sources, graded and link-checked. Read them, fork them, or build your own.
For students, teachers, researchers, and the plain curious who want to learn a topic without taking a summary on faith.
The library is being rebuilt
We took down our own first drafts. They read fine, but they didn’t meet the sourcing standard this site exists for. Timelines are coming back one at a time: researched in depth, checked link by link, and reviewed by a person before anything goes live.
How the standard works →Built against unsourced history
The internet is filling up with confident, machine-generated claims. SourcedStory goes the other way: every event carries its evidence, and the quality of that evidence is visible.
Every claim carries its sources
Events cite their evidence, and each source is graded: primary archives, peer-reviewed journals, reputable institutions. Unsourced claims get flagged where readers can see them.
Zoom from eons to an afternoon
One canvas spans 13.8 billion years. Pan across eras, dive into a decade, and land on a single day. The timeline re-draws itself around whatever you focus on.
Build and publish your own
Draft privately with autosave, cite as you go, and publish when it’s ready. Readers only ever see the version you chose to make public.

Free to read, free to start creating. Drafts stay private until you publish, and your work stays yours.
