Our Mission

Welcome to Niche History, our passion project! Created by Braden Jones, this blog aims to educate both historians and non-historians alike through stories from all over the world. Our mission is to create an educational blog that shows why history as a discipline is worth the attention and study of scholars and laymen alike. These posts may range from discussing the invention of aspartame to the re-discovery of Lady Dai's tomb.

Every story may include a connection to a larger and more well-known event or moment in history, but every post objectively will focus on smaller, less-known stories. We are here to break the top-down narratives of many history textbooks and classes to focus on people, not dates or numbers.

As a disclaimer, these posts are not peer-reviewed and very well may include mistakes or misinterpretations of primary and/or secondary sources. That being said, each and every post will include sources to increase its own personal credibility.
