Fan History is a collaborative project like none other currently serving the fandom community. Its core function is as a wiki which allows members of fandom - men and women, young and old - to actively participate in documenting the history of their various fandoms, share current news which may impact their experiences, as well as creating an easily searchable web indice of related communities, projects, and activities. It gives members of fandom a chance to share current fandom news that may impact people’s experiences in fandom. Fan History users can also promote their own creative projects, and share opinions with fellow fans and alert them to scams and questionable practices encountered within fandom. By providing these resources, Fan History allows users to celebrate their activities, whichever corner of fandom they come from: anime, cartoons, comics, movies, politics, science fiction, sports, television, theater, and video games.
The information that Fan History and its users have gathered allows the company’s staff to serve media companies by providing a consulting service and knowledge database for entertainment professionals and to academics.  We are uniquely positioned because as fans ourselves, we can provide context to all things fandom and explain what all the data and information on Fan History means to a company’s goals as they try to navigate the business end of fandom.
