Interesting enough - any ideas how you would use these with a class of Year 9 students?

Andy, hello again (3 years since Toulouse!) Our timelines aren't yet adapted specifically for school use. They are of value to both teachers and pupils alike only as a general resource, just like Wikipedia or anything else. However, we are trying to move towards developments of specific use as teaching tools, and want input from teachers as to what they would welcome. I will open a topic in the next few days on my blog (http://bamberontimelines.blogspot.com/) - and post a note here when it is done.

Hi Bamber
On closer inspection I can see a way of using these timelines in some of my online lessons which should drive traffic to your site. I'll post a "starter for ten" shortly.

I have adapted my causes of world war one lesson to include TimeSearch

I will also endeavour to include a link to a timeline using this image where appropriate throughout my site
