Today, you have your seat ready on a train to the past, with some of the most touching, beautiful and intriguing moments of history. Call it modern-day time travel, since these days, most of us barely have time to sit back, relax and dwell on the wonders of human history.

But thanks to this Instagram account titled A Slice Of History, which is basically a visual collection of selected historical ‘slices’, we have a whole lot to uncover. Think of Michelle and Barack Obama giggling on their wedding day in 1992, or Freddie Mercury lovingly hugging Mary Austin, and a couple of male lovers captured on camera in a photobooth in 1953; there’s something eternally beautiful about these moments.

Bored Panda also reached out to the creator behind this entertaining Instagram account to find out more about the idea behind it and what messages it spreads on social media. Scroll down for the interview below!

To find out more about A Slice Of History, we reached out to the creator behind it named Sarah, a 22-year-old from Sydney. “I absolutely adore film, fashion and culture,” Sarah said, adding that she works as a production coordinator making TVCs (television commercials) and advertisements “with an incredible production team.” On top of that, Sarah is a full-time university student studying a Bachelor of Media and Communications, and a Bachelor of Arts, so it seems like no day is dull for the creator of A Slice Of History.

    Sarah started this Instagram page which today has 145k followers back in 2018, “while procrastinating during a uni lecture (not very studious of me, I know). I was scrolling aimlessly through the explore page and with nothing really engaging me in any way.” The creator said that she realized “how such a ‘stimulating’ app lacked real, diverse and educational content, and thus wanting to learn more myself and have the ability to share my knowledge with others, I started a A Slice Of History.”

    The encounter took place at a Pride event in Brussels, where a curious kid asked if he could touch the punk’s jacket to see if the spikes were as sharp as they looked. The punker knelt down, amused by the kid’s reaction, and they engaged in conversation before returning to the parade.

    When it comes to the content that gets shared on A Slice Of History, Sarah doesn’t plan her posts too much ahead of time. “Generally I’ll go about my day and something will inspire and intrigue my research. Whether it’s an outfit, a poster, book, something said on the radio, or in a conversation, I’ll quickly jot down the idea in my notebook and later begin researching,” she told us in a written interview.

    Sarah also said that she tries to do her best “to ensure the posts are primarily without prejudice or bias, and the information constituting the posts are peer-reviewed, certified or supported in academic findings/claims in order to ensure authentic and valid information is shared online.”

    When asked about the idea behind her Instagram page, Sarah said: “with our secular society so absorbed and engaged on social media, I thought this modern tool truly had the potential to share old stories, different cultures, spectacular fashion moments, the marvels of filmmaking, and, of course, history; the good and the bad, on a scale that I could never reach alone.”

    But making your content stand out from others on social media is a challenge in itself. “It can definitely be challenging in the sense where in order to stand out, you need to think outside the box and really delve deep into research,” the Sydney-based creator said.

    "However, what I’ve found is that social media can be quite segregated, only showing content from certain countries and cultures. Whereas with A Slice Of History I try to incorporate an amalgamation of posts from across the world, getting insight from individuals to research and discuss, with different perspectives and opinions driving it,” Sarah explained.

    A Couple 48 Hours After They Met At Woodstock, And 50 Years, Two Sons And Five Grandchildren Later

    A Couple 48 Hours After They Met At Woodstock, And 50 Years, Two Sons And Five Grandchildren Later

    Judy had met Jerry on Aug. 15, 1969 which was day one of the iconic Woodstock music festival, when her car broke down on New York’s Tappan Zee Bridge, roughly 90 miles from the concert grounds, and she and the two acquaintances she was traveling with decided to hitchhike.

    She revealed in an interview with PEOPLE, “I was just thinking, ‘Damn, now we can’t go,’ and we were dying to,” recalls Judy, 71. “Then Jerry and his friends pulled up. I stuck my head in and I saw that there was a woman in the car. I’d never hitchhiked before, but I figured, ‘Well, since there was a woman, it was fairly safe, and I probably should just get in the car.’ That first ride together in the back seat of Jerry’s pal’s 1967 VW Beetle eventually grew into 50 years of love and marriage, including two sons and five grandchildren.”

He saw his reflection in the riot shield. He was tracing his outline. The child was oblivious to what was going on around him”.

    Russian explorer Leonid Rogozov was in the middle of Antartica when he realised he had appendicitis and needed an appendectomy straight away. Being the only medic on sight and his appendix hours away from bursting and thus spreading a bacterial infection, he decided he would operate on himself. Rogozov instructed his team to sterilise his equipment and had them set up a mirror below his right hip. He injected local anaesthetic, and despite accidentally slicing his lower intestine, completed the surgery successfully and recovered within 2 weeks | 1961
