Concharto is an online encyclopedic atlas of history and happenings that anyone can edit. It is a geographic wiki that gives you simple and elegant answers to hard questions like "What interesting things happened near where I am driving? What happened near our hotel in Paris? What is happening near my town and surrounding areas? What was New York City like from 1858 to 1869?"

It isn't a wiki if you can't view or undo changes. You can see both text and geographical changes and easily revert back to an older version. All changes are tracked!

Discuss

Discussion is the lifeblood of a good wiki. Did Napoleon really win the battle of Borodino 1812?

If you want to discuss something about an event, simply click on the discuss link. If no discussion exists, you can create one.

Flag for removal

Some things just don't belong on the Atlas. Anyone can flag an event for removal and it will be reviewed and removed if necessary. Of course it is always better to correct the event if possible, but there are good reasons for removal. For example:

  • It is a duplicate of something someone else entered
  • It is not encyclopedic (see our policies)
  • It is totally fake
