Metaport is a mixed-media storytelling platform dedicated to connecting people across time and place through shared stories. We believe every story matters, and we invite everyone - from professional historians to casual storytellers, genealogists, and beyond, to preserve and share their histories with the world.
By posting on Metaport, you contribute to a living repository of histories and memories tied to cities, buildings, and places of interest, spanning past and present. Your story adds depth to our collective history, ensuring that every voice is heard and preserved for future generations.
Yes! Metaport is completely free to create, share, and read stories.
Your safety is our priority. While no online platform can fully eliminate all risks, we’re here to help. If you suspect your account has been compromised, please reach out to us immediately at [email protected].
Metaport is a home for all kinds of stories, even those that might be uncomfortable or challenging. However, if you encounter content that glorifies or incites violence, abuses or manipulates individuals or groups, or spreads willful misinformation, please use the “Flag for Removal” button on the story’s page.
No worries! Multiple stories can coexist for the same place, as each unique perspective adds value. To contribute your own story to an existing pin, simply click “Add your story to this location” and submit your narrative. Your story will appear under the same pin, organized chronologically based on the era it describes. Additionally, if you believe a name needs updating and have supporting documentation, please contact us at [email protected].
As a growing platform, we’re focused on delivering the best user experience possible. To manage adoption and refine our platform in real time, we currently use an invitation-based system. This helps us monitor usage and improve functionality as we scale.
Yes! Organizations are welcome to share their stories on Metaport. We offer a business account option tailored for companies, institutions, or groups looking to preserve and showcase their history. When signing up, simply select the business-type account. To learn more or get assistance, contact us at [email protected].
Yes! We’re actively developing a mobile version of the platform. Stay tuned for updates—we expect to share more news later in 2025.
We’re thrilled you’re interested! To join the Metaport community, please create an account and add your story. For additional questions or support, feel free to email us at [email protected]. Together, let’s preserve history, one story at a time.
