The '''Historical Hastings''' website is for the {{tag|history}} of Hastings, Sussex, {{tag|England}}, in the [[:Category:United Kingdom|United Kingdom]] (UK). It started as a {{tag|map}}ping site, hence the 'HistoryMap' domain name, but grew into a [[wiki]]-based site used as a {{tag|research}} tool. The mapping functionality is still retained in the site, and is gradually being increased, with categorised sections (for example {{tag|Agriculture|farm}}s, or {{tag|cinema}}s) incorporating maps showing features referenced within the site. Funding for the site is entirely voluntary, and any funds raised via donations or {{tag|Advertising|advertisements}} shown on the site are utilised solely for hosting costs. The research and content is provided by a small team of volunteers. When the wiki was originally created, all visitors were welcome to make corrections and add {{tag|personal}} or {{tag|family}} histories to existing pages without requiring an account, (aka an [[:Category:OpenEdit|open edit]] wiki). However, as of January 2022, the wiki was changed to require all prospective [[editor]]s to [[request account]], thereby rendering the wiki site to {{tag|ByInvitation}}. | The '''Historical Hastings''' website is for the {{tag|history}} of Hastings, Sussex, {{tag|England}}, in the [[:Category:United Kingdom|United Kingdom]] (UK).
