About FlashcardExchange.com

Why Flashcards?

Flashcards are the fastest and best way to memorize almost any sort of information. Whether you are memorizing multiplication tables, vocabulary lists, a new language, or just plain old definitions, flashcards will help you organize the information in a way that helps you learn more efficiently.

Flashcards have been in use since the 19th century, but the web and mobile applications have made them even better. Using FlashcardExchange.com we can automatically hide cards you already know so that you can focus on the ones you don't. Any flashcard can become a memorize game, so that you can compete, have fun AND learn your flashcard set. And if you want to practice your set in a test environment, we can make your flashcards into multiple-choice, fill in the blank and matching questions – automatically - so that you can take your test before you enter the classroom. Still not convinced? Choose any of our mobile apps and you can take all this with you on the bus, train, plane or however you get around town.

Why FlashcardExchange.com?

We're a big corporation that needs to make lots and lots of money to satisfy our shaleholders. No, not really, we just think you deserve better.

Flashcard Exchange was founded in January 2001 by Culley Harrelson. He was studying for a technical exam and had a stack of over 700 paper flashcards. "Someone must have already created these flashcards... why do I have to do all this work?" he asked himself. He searched on ebay and found nothing. He searched for flashcard websites and also found nothing. Abandoning his studies, he set out to create this site.

Since that time, the site has grown into a thriving community of educators, students, and all types of enthusiastic learners. And we still take the time to answer email, if you want to get in touch with us.

You can also snail mail us at the address below:
