Introducing Histolines Cities
Hisolines Geography allows us to tab each event, picture or quote to where it occurred. With a substantial portion of our post geocoded now we can introduce Histolines Cities where you can pick any of the major cities in the world and look at the historical events that happened there.
In addition to being able to watch what happened on any given day in history we can now focus on any given city like Paris or London and see how that place has evolved over the years, and how building and people who lived there influenced history there. This gives unprecedented perspective and context to all the historical events.
With time we hope to be able to add more and more location identifiers to the events and we hope that our readers will help identify the locations of the events that are already in the knowledgeable. (Technically, at the moment we are identifying all the events that have occurred within roughly 50 miles of the city center, and the radius can be expanded in the web address inputs). In not too distant future we will be able to filter on entire countries or just a specific city block.
