After nearly 25 years of service to students and educators worldwide, Digital History will cease operation on May 31, 2026.
Digital History has been a labor of love, developed in collaboration with historian Steve Mintz and the Gilder Lehrman Institute, and supported by
the National Endowment for the Humanities. This resource has served millions of users, providing free, reliable content as an alternative to
expensive textbooks. However, maintaining the site now requires extensive technical infrastructure updates to meet current standards - work that
exceeds available funding and makes continued operation unsustainable.
We are deeply grateful to David Brashear for his years of dedicated
technical maintenance and to everyone who has used and shared Digital History over the past quarter century.
