About HistoryOrb.com
With almost 200,000 entries HistoryOrb.com is the largest, most accurate and popular Today in History site on the web.
Our extensive Today in History archives have evolved from a database orginally collated by Bruce T. Goldman that we have added to, expanded and corrected over the years. In this process our dedicated team of hard working history lovers has had the invaluable help of many our visitors who regularly send us omissions and corrections.
