Hey there! I am Kaitlyn Weldon (she/her) – a writer, historian, and professor specializing in American History.

Here you will find history tips, stories you don’t typically hear in history class, and museum adventures!

Here’s How I Can Help You…

My mission is to make history fun, relatable, and accessible to all.

But I do more than just history – I consult on projects as a freelance writer, research assistant, and content creator.

I have worked with brands like Ranker Weird History, DoYouRemember?, and The Remedial Herstory Project. I have also consulted on individual research projects for book manuscripts and podcasts. Interested in viewing a selection of my work? My portfolio can be viewed here.

If you are interested in working with Kaitlyn, please fill out the contact page or email Kaitlyn at k.w.histories@gmail.com.

“I see no boundaries” is the phrase associated with the Pioneer Woman Museum in Ponca City, Oklahoma. Presented at the Western History Association conference for the first time today. This is the biggest conference in my field of history! It went really well 💕 Did you know that I have experience volunteering and working in museums?!
