Our purpose? We're here to bring the very best of this new historical work to you. The best historians. The best new books and ideas.

This site began because we are lovers of history ourselves.

Our editor, Peter Moore, is the Sunday Times bestselling author of The Weather Experiment and Endeavour.

Our creative director is Jordan Acosta, who is known for his visual history work with The Times, Unsplash, National Geographic History and on The Paper Time Machine.

We make sure that all our (human) written pieces are accompanied by high quality visual material, remastered from the public archives to reflect their original condition.

Thank you for reading.
