The History Guy looks at weights, measures and the history of metrication. The two-hundred-year quest for an international standard measure is history that deserves to be remembered.

The History Guy uses images that are in the Public Domain. As photos of actual events are sometimes not available, I will often use photographs of similar events and objects for illustration.
