Untold

From the first video games to the cotton gin; how do the inventions of the past impact the world around us today?

Perhaps now, more than ever, our history is a vital and very present part of the world around us, so it’s hugely important that young people feel a part of that conversation and can see themselves reflected in our shared past.

Untold is an award-winning collection of more than 250 short, compelling, history videos developed in collaboration with high-profile museums and foundations including the N-Y Historical Society, American Battlefield Trust, iCivics and the Smithsonian National Museum of American History.
