Bulgarian History

https://bulgarianhistory.org/

Bulgarian History is an online media platform specialising in the country's history. The media outlet aims to preserve and popularise Bulgaria's past through active publishing and production activities.

Apart from the media platform, the organisation has an online store with more than 100 educational publications.

Bulgarian History's most active communication channels are its Facebook page, followed by nearly 400,000 people, and its YouTube channel, with over 100,000 subscribers. YouTube is the platform chosen by the organisation to develop its production activity, including hundreds of short films.

Since its establishment in 2012, Bulgarian History has been working towards reviving historical memory, strengthening national pride, and reviving forgotten personalities and episodes from the recent and distant past.

Bulgarian History aims to reach everyone interested in the popular aspect of history, with priority given to the younger generation. That's why the team has been actively and voluntarily visiting schools since 2013. The organisation has met with more than 10,000 students over the last 10 years.

Bulgarian History is the winner of the 2020 Site of the Year Award for its overall contributions, and the Golden Lion Award for a publishing project with public significance.
