Encyclopedia Titanica is the world's most comprehensive and authoritative online resource for Titanic research, founded in 1996 and continuously expanded by a global community of researchers, historians, and contributors. The site contains detailed biographical records for every known passenger and crew member who sailed on RMS Titanic's maiden voyage — more than 2,200 individual entries — along with a vast archive of articles, photographs, deck plans, survivor accounts, and historical documents.
The site's message board has been the gathering place for the global Titanic research community for nearly three decades, hosting conversations among historians, authors, and enthusiasts that have produced some of the most important advances in Titanic scholarship. Members of the board include many of the world's leading Titanic researchers, several of whom are also members of the Historic Ships Network.
As a partner of the Historic Ships Network, Encyclopedia Titanica represents the digital foundation of Titanic scholarship — an open, freely accessible resource that has democratised Titanic research and connected the global community of those who care about the ship and the people who sailed in her.
