Top: Society: History

Sites about local history are usually placed in the appropriate subcategory of the Regional hierarchy.

Do not submit sites about local (e.g. town, city, county) history unless pertinent to an event or place of national or international significance. For example, a site about the founding of Gettysburg, Pennsylvania is Regional in interest, whereas a site about the course of the Battle of Gettysburg in 1863, a turning point in the American Civil War, would be accepted into the Society/History category of the same.

Society/History is best suited to academic or scholarly sites devoted to history of civilizations, or of particular branches or philosophies of history.
History, in brief, is the humanity which explains the human condition based on the chronological record of significant events and their related causes.
