Alpha History is an Australian-based brand that offers free and affordable content and resources to support the teaching, learning, and study of history. Launched in 2011, the Alpha History website serves as a comprehensive online textbook and resource center for history teachers and students. With over two million words, 3,000 pages, and numerous historical sources, our website covers 11 popular history subjects.

We continuously update and expand our content, with plans for additional history sections in the coming year. At Alpha History, our content is written, compiled, and edited by a team of highly qualified authors from Australia, New Zealand, the United States, Canada, and Great Britain. These historians, academics, teachers, and professionals are passionate about history and history education.

Our content meets high standards, providing interesting and well-researched summaries on essential topics. We aim for suitable detail while maintaining conciseness and accessibility for students aged 15 and above. In addition to written content, Alpha History offers carefully chosen primary source material, reference material, and a growing number of online activities such as crosswords, quizzes, and flashcards.

As a not-for-profit company, we rely on advertising and donations to support website development and content permissions. Any surplus revenue is invested in commissioning and developing new pages, resources, and sections. If you find our website useful, there are several ways you can support Alpha History.
