About Tempestry

A community-built encyclopedia of history

Tempestry is a community encyclopedia where every entry is a historical event, period, or topic. Entries nest inside each other — "The Moon Landing" lives inside "The Space Race" lives inside "The Cold War" — forming an infinitely deep, interconnected map of the past shaped by the people who care about it.

How it works

  • Browse top entries on the home page or explore the full archive at once
  • Create entries in Studio — manually or by pasting any Wikipedia URL to generate events automatically
  • Drill into any entry to read its body, sub-events, and sources
  • Vote on entries to surface the most significant and accurate events
  • Comment on entries to discuss, correct, or add context
  • Explore geolocated events on the interactive globe
