The Story
Obscure Histories was founded in 2014 as a supplemental resource for secondary education. As our audience grew, our content expanded beyond the initial intent. We were reaching many people from around the world, and our content grew to reflect that. Our readers and writers determine what stories we publish.
We believe that quality, accessible histories should be free and open to everyone, and that contributors should be compensated for their work. To make this a reality, we began the process of making Obscure Histories a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2022. We were approved to begin fundraising in late 2023.
In 2022, we also founded OH, Jr., the educational outreach arm of OH. OH, Jr. provides curriculum that uses history stories to teach real life skills. Currently, OH, Jr. is offering our History Documentary curriculum, which teaches learners how to write and edit short, history documentaries for video. We are working on an online portal to make it widely available.
