Community Guidelines

Effective Date: November 2, 2025

Fostering thoughtful, respectful, and meaningful discussions

Welcome to History On Papers, the world’s first digital museum dedicated to original letters, manuscripts, and historical autographs.

This community was created to share knowledge, spark curiosity, and connect people who believe that history comes alive through the written word.

To keep this space open, insightful, and enjoyable for everyone, please take a moment to read and follow our community principles below.

1- Respect comes first

We welcome members from all backgrounds — historians, collectors, archivists, or simply curious minds. Differences in knowledge and perspective make discussions richer. Please engage politely and constructively, even when you disagree.

Treat others as you would in a museum: with curiosity, humility, and care.

When you comment for the first time, we invite you to use your real name and, if you wish, mention your area of interest or expertise (e.g. 19th-century history, autograph authentication, literary manuscripts, etc.). This helps readers understand the perspective you bring and makes the dialogue more transparent and credible.

We encourage you to enrich conversations with historical insights, bibliographic references, or archival links — but always within the context of the post. Please avoid off-topic comments or self-promotion. Links to your own content are welcome only when they directly contribute to the discussion.

History thrives on evidence — let’s make this space a source of knowledge, not noise.

4- Be constructive and generous in your contributions

Each comment shapes how others perceive both the subject and the community itself. When adding to a discussion:

Offer new perspectives or contextual information.
Ask questions that help others reflect and learn.
Disagree respectfully and explain your reasoning.

Your words can inspire research, reflection, and discovery — use that influence wisely.

5- Help us keep this space safe

If you notice content that is rude, aggressive, or inappropriate, please report it using the “Report” option next to the comment. We operate a zero-tolerance policy toward abusive behavior, harassment, or hate speech. Together, we can maintain a space where everyone feels welcome to learn and share.

6- Be the same person online as you are in person

Most people are kind, curious, and respectful — let’s make sure History On Papers reflects that. Lead with thoughtful language, empathy, and intellectual generosity.
When you do, others will follow your example.

Let’s make this a community you’re proud to be part of — a living archive of ideas as well as of documents.

Thank you for contributing to History On Papers

By participating here, you’re helping to build something rare: a digital space where history, authenticity, and dialogue coexist. We’re grateful for your insight, your passion, and your respect for the past — and for each other.
