CHNM Tools Center wiki
A collaborative resource to connect builders and users of digital tools. Originally built to support the online history community, the Tools Center has expanded and welcomes entries on tools for digital scholarship, archiving and preservation writ large.
Digital Research Tools (DiRT)
This wiki collects information about tools and resources that can help scholars (particularly in the humanities and social sciences) conduct research more efficiently or creatively. Whether you need software to help you manage citations, author a multimedia work, or analyze texts, Digital Research Tools will help you find what you’re looking for. We provide a directory of tools organized by research activity, as well as reviews of select tools in which we not only describe the tool’s features, but also explore how it might be employed most effectively by researchers.
Rethinking Timelines
Project active 2007 – 2011 (and beyond)
The Rethinking TimeLines project aims to develop methodologies for modeling and visualising historical events with both temporal (timeline) and spatial (mapping) components.
TimeMap: Time-based Interactive Mapping
TimeMap TMJava is a novel mapping applet which generates complete interactive maps with a few simple lines of html. It provides a way of easily enriching web pages with historical or contemporary information that goes far beyond static jpg map images. It’s easy for beginners, yet provides completely customisable power and distributed backend database connectivity for the expert. It’s free for personal use.
