Timeline Help - History TimelinesTable of Contents
The Ten Categories In order to keep the format tidy and easy to access, I have categorized them in overviews. No difficult entries or find-it-out-yourself-click-till-you-drop navigation outline. There are ten main categories: Countries and Regions, Politics, Music, Science and Technology, Society and People, Sports, Space, Food and Health, Religion and Miscellaneous. Just pick the one of your choice. My Definition The definition I use for preparing and researching a timeline is a representation of a chronological sequence of significant activities, events and people in a certain time period, presented in an easy order of dates. I offer cited works, recommendations and interesting links to primary source information, quotations or citations. If exact dates are not available or disputed by scientists, a year or decade is given. My Research Efforts I love to dive into the past and discover well-known and sometimes relatively unknown great or important world events or special people in world history. It took time, serious effort, investigative research and accuracy to select and refine key facts I like to know and show, till they are ready for publication for high school, college and university students, teachers and professors. My References All information is retrieved from many library books, journals, encyclopedias and magazines. At each page you find short bibliographies, cited works and recommended references to more interesting information. These cross-referencing bibliographies are styled in the general citation format of APA, American Psychological Association, citation, the most commonly used style in education and sciences. I prefer their revised 5th edition APA manual. Is It BCE or BC? I use the terms BCE - which means Before Currentt Era - and CE which means Current Era. Some chronologies have BC - Before Christ, and AD Anno Domini - meaning Year of Our Lord - notations, referring to the Christian calendar. But I rather choose for BCE and CE, because they are most common and accepted abbreviations historians use in designating and exploring the era of prehistory, ancient antiquity and the common era. Every Week a New One I try to publish each week a new event timeline, it takes about three days of researching library, magazine and journalistic sources. And approximately two or three days of writing and placing all facts and data in the perfect chronological order.
