History Commons

Okay kiddo, let me explain a history commons to you like you're five.

A history commons is a place where people can gather and share information about historical events. It's like a big playground where everyone puts their knowledge together and learns from each other.

This commons works by having a website where different people can add their stories, photos, documents and facts about important events in history. It's like a big scrapbook of history that everyone can help create.

Now, let's pretend we're learning about the Civil War. A person might add a story about Abraham Lincoln, another might add a photo of a famous battle, and someone else might add facts about what life was like during that time.

Over time, the history commons grows and becomes a valuable resource for anyone who wants to learn about historic events. It's a tool that helps us understand the past and learn from it.

So, that's the history commons, kiddo. It's a big, collaborative space where we can all come together and share the knowledge we have about important moments in history.
