The site contains more than 400 narrative Histories, weaving through time and often interconnecting. They can be viewed in two ways, Plain Text or Interactive. You can tour through time for any country within 2 minutes and know what, when and where.

Two different applications are available within the Timeline section of HistoryWorld viz., existing time line ( Curriculum and Heritage timelines) and mix a timeline ( mix areas with themes).
