Creating timelines is often a key part of a research project - helping understand the history of an event, a place, a nation. You need to quickly and intuitively lay out a sequence of events over time and are looking for accessible and simple technology that can help.
TimeGlider is a free web-based timeline application. It represents an entirely new, yet completely intuitive, way of visualizing historical information. An axis of time runs across the screen, around which you create, import and categorize events. It requires no specialist software and can be accessed on any machine with a web browser. TimeGlider also makes sharing and collaborating on your research with fellow students and academics simple.
