PLEASE NOTE: THE GiS TiMELiNE IS FROZEN
Unfortunately, due to a shortage of time and money the GiS TiMELiNE is not being updated at present. You are welcome to make use of current web site, but do not expect it to change. The GiS TiMELiNE has a strong Anglo-American bias.

If you are interested in supporting / sponsoring the GiS TiMELiNE, please contact me.
