DailyHistory.org's goal is to create a website that answers historical questions and helps readers find the books that can answer their questions in even more depth. DailyHistory.org is at its core a wiki. All of the articles on this site will ever be finished. Additionally, aside from a few Expert Booklists, all booklists will also be wikis.  We hope to create a community of people who are interested in answering historical questions and directing people to the best history books available. In addition, to our articles and booklists we will also have author interviews with current historians to help keep up on all of the new research being done.
