Best History Blogs to Read

The best history blogs from independent historians and enthusiasts. Deep dives into ancient civilizations, forgotten events, and the stories that shaped the modern world.

Why These Blogs

History writing on personal blogs has a freedom that academic publishing doesn't — authors can follow their curiosity wherever it leads, spend months on a single obscure topic, and write for readers rather than tenure committees. These blogs cover everything from ancient trade routes to cold war espionage to the local history of places you've never heard of. What they share is a love of the past and the patience to tell its stories well.
