Every day each of us experiences thousands of things, small or big, and each is a story.

These short or mundane daily experiences may not make it to the headline news. But your experiences and stories are the legacy that will draw your children and grandchildren closer and feel a sense of connection and understanding of who they are.

Close your eyes and see your grandparents, 50 years ago, eating their breakfast, stepping onto the bus to go to work, reading the evening paper, laughing with friends at the local pub.

It’s the little stories that bring life into focus, create a sense of belonging and make history more complete.

What clothes we wear is a story. What we eat is a story. How we communicate is a story. All these stories complete our larger story.

Why HistoryChip?

Your Story Is The Most Powerful Way To Connect With Yourself And Others

History skips over the voices of most of us, focusing instead on the narratives of the powerful.

At History Chip, we're changing that!

Jean, the founder, believes everyone deserves to be seen, heard, and represented. This platform, with the ease of TikTok and the weight of a sort of Wikipedia of history, lets you share your unfiltered story in text or video. It’s simple, it’s immediate, and it respects every voice. We aim to expose the world to as many perspectives as possible.
