Creating a Timeline

Definition of Timelines
The definition for timelines is as follows:

A timeline is the presentation of a chronological sequence of related events along a drawn line that enables the reader to quickly understand relationships relating to, or limited by, time.
The line is usually drawn from left to right, or top to bottom
The many examples of timelines on this website detail factual information along timelines which are drawn from top to bottom, allowing substantial entries to be made

Timeline Examples - Timeline Templates
First create a timeline template. Instructions to create a Timeline template:

Establish total Time span - What is the start date? What is the end date? Establish the length of time required
Determine the style required i.e. horizontal or vertical timeline
Enter significant dates on the timeline
Provide facts and information of people or events which occurred on the specified date
The dates must be entered sequentially although it is often reasonable to have long gaps between dates e.g. a timeline date can start at say 1950 and then jump to the next important period which might be 1965
Text should be clear and concise
Facts and information relating to dates should be easily located
A Timeline should provide facts and information at a glance
