Professional and amateur historians alike are looking for ways to bring history to life. There is a wealth of historical information available on-line today, but much of it is organized in long web-page tables so that the information is there, but much of the meaning is held captive. The time has come for a new way to visualize and share historical information.
TimeGlider is a free web-based timeline application. Already used by academics and amateur historians around the world, it represents a new and intuitive way of visualizing historical information. An interactive axis of time runs across the screen around which you create, import, and categorize events. A canvas stretching from the big-bang to any point in the future, it lets you zoom out to see millennia and zoom in to see details down to the minute. TimeGlider can also be used by groups collaborating on a research project — and you have the ability to share your work with anyone who uses a web browser.
