Borders of Time

Support

Keep the map running

Borders of Time is free to use and always will be for the core map, timeline, and tours. It’s an independent project, not a company — support from readers is what keeps it online.

What support pays for

  • Map tile and API hosting — serving historical border snapshots and place data at speed, for every visitor.
  • The data pipeline — the scripts that fetch, verify, and cache Wikidata/Wikipedia content and keep it up to date.
  • Time spent researching and fixing border errors, broken links, and factual corrections readers report.

Chip in

A one-time or monthly tip, whatever it’s worth to you — no account, no subscription required.
