The website, Historical Marker Database (HMDB.org), is a comprehensive platform dedicated to documenting and preserving historical markers around the world. It offers a vast collection of information on local, national, and global history in bite-sized bits. The site allows users to search for markers based on various topics and locations. Additionally, it provides an online forum for discussions, resources about the database's creators, merchandise options, and a marker-of-the-week feature. The site emphasizes the public nature of history by highlighting markers that are cast in metal and serves as a plan without hysteria for exploring historical events. Currently featuring over 199710 markers with hundreds being added monthly, HMDB is a valuable resource for anyone interested in delving into history through these tangible traces of the past.
