Timelines

Web-based, interactive timelines provide effective platforms for visualizing, publishing, and researching chronological narratives. Key events can easily be coupled with text, images, and video to produce content-rich entry points in a wide variety of academic disciplines; here are some examples in the FAS. Timeline software training can be arranged for faculty and students. For questions, or to set up a consultation appointment, contact atg@fas.harvard.edu.

ATG has experience supporting these open-source interactive timelines:
