Blake Mitchell
Blake Mitchell is the creator of thehistoricalfrontier and a student at the University of Worcester.
Making history worth exploring
Blake created thehistoricalfrontier to bring together different ways of exploring the past: testing your knowledge with a quiz, discovering a historical person, following a topic or reading a longer essay.
The project grew from a social media history page into a website built around the idea of History, made social. Its aim is to make history accessible without losing the evidence, context and debate that make the subject interesting.
thehistoricalfrontier is an independent project. Blake’s university connection describes his studies, not a university endorsement of the website.
