Questions
Common questions.
What do we need to run it?
A computer with a current Chrome or Edge browser, a screen or projector, and an internet connection. Phones and tablets need only a browser, and VR needs a WebXR headset. Nothing to install, and no sign-in.
How is it priced?
Teaching and exhibitions are an annual licence for the organisation or the site, not per person, paid by invoice. A Legacy Line is a commission, then hosting. We quote on request.
Is the content reliable?
Entries are checked against named reference works, and the stories set out their Qur’an and hadith references. Our sources explains how, and lets you search every entry.
Is it in Arabic?
The timeline is in English today, with honorifics and quotations in Arabic script, and an Arabic edition is in preparation. Legacy Lines are built in Arabic and English.
Who owns a Legacy Line?
Your content stays yours, and the line is licensed to you in writing before work begins. We host it and keep it running.
Who are we?
HISTREE is a Saudi company, founded and led by Houria Akram, who spent eleven years building education businesses in the UK.
