AI ILLUSTRATION
Pictures appear here. Real images come from Wikipedia; when none exists, a labeled AI illustration is drawn instead.
Events, summaries and images from Wikipedia and Wikimedia Commons (CC BY-SA). Full stories are written by AI from those sources and a Google search.
How the Herald works
Reading the paper
Pick a month, day and year from 1500 to yesterday, then press SEARCH. Tap any headline to read the full story.
Where the facts come from
Events come from Wikipedia's year-by-year and month-by-month records and its date pages. Stories from your exact date come first. When Wikipedia lists fewer than three for that day, AI searches Google for more confirmed events on that exact date; those are marked "found by web search". Under "Elsewhere that week" you'll find events from up to seven days either side, each with its own date.
Full stories
Each full story is written by AI using the Wikipedia article and a Google search, with the sources listed underneath. If the AI writer can't be reached, Wikipedia's own summary is shown instead.
Pictures
Pictures are real images from the Wikipedia articles linked to the story. When no real image exists, an AI illustration is drawn in the style of a newspaper engraving and clearly labeled.
Tags are assigned by AI. Events at sea, in space, or across several regions get no tag. Central America and the Caribbean count as N. America; Egypt counts as Africa.
Calendars
Before 1752 some dates follow the older Julian (Old Style) calendar, just as Wikipedia records them. Days of the week use the Julian calendar before October 15, 1582 and the Gregorian calendar after.
