Description	Originally known as the 'Usenet Alternate History List', version 1 of Uchronia was first posted on the Internet on April 11, 1991, to the Usenet newsgroup rec.arts.sf-lovers. Back then it was a plain text file about 30 kB long and a new version was posted to Usenet once every month or two. The idea for creating Uchronia was first conceived in late February 1991 and much of the first version was based on information provided by Evelyn Leeper. Evelyn is still submitting entries today. Uchronia moved onto the World Wide Web in 1995, but for the next two years was just a slightly modified copy of the same material that was still being posted to Usenet. In early 1997, Uchronia became Web-only. It received its current name late that year, at about the same time it was converted to the spiffy Web version you see today, which is extracted dynamically from a 1.1 MB text database.
