Over the last year, we’ve been working to improve the HistoryExtra site and talking to users about how we make it a richer and deeper experience.

As part of this evolution, and in common with many other publishers, we have moved the site to a subscription model. As a subscriber, you not only have unlimited access to our extensive archive, but also a wealth of new features including on-demand access to our virtual lectures and masterclasses, free access to our special podcast series (currently only available via Apple subscriptions) and ad-free versions of podcasts that we produce going forward, plus the ability to download our pick of our best Special Editions – carefully curated deep dives into specific eras and moments in history.

Funding quality content

HistoryExtra is owned by Immediate Media. Your support helps us fund HistoryExtra’s commitment to quality, fact-checked content, written by the leading historians in their fields. It also enables us to continue to invest in new products and features, such as our new on-demand lecture series. We’re offering a subscription service because our content is exclusive, it has added value and is curated by experts.

We’ll continue to make exploring the past as enjoyable as possible.
