About

Wikidocumentaries is a wiki for small history

Wikidocumentaries is collaborative platform for citizen historians. It is based on the existing content in Wikimedia projects, and it will be complemented with small and lesser topics. Small places are eligible – capes and coves, paths and outhouses – and all related people ever lived or happenings they were involved in.
