Thanks for the tip David! Ideally, @MapWarper might develop a contributory interface similar to that of Wikipedia, where it’s easy to roll-back a novice user’s mistaken efforts, and even lock a page if it happens repeatedly.
If historical opening- and closing-date attributes could be added to each section of railway line on @openrailwaymap, we could animate the construction of railways around the world from the 19th Century to today. Try Time-machine.Earth to see how this looks for Australia.
The OpenLayers Editor by @geops is a really nifty piece of interactive design. I don't normally like tool-based interfaces, but the mouse-over effects make up for that. Try it out and let me know what you think! openlayers-editor.geops.de
Ancient Australia in your hand!
These 'lenticular' cards contrast the Greater Australian continent #Sahul 20,000 years ago (ice-sheets and drier climate included) with how the region looks today.
Hoping someday to do a big print-run for schools and museums.
Three hours scouring the @Library_Vic microfilms, to fill one more gap in my dataset of the world’s first feature film touring Australia and the world.
Visualisation coming soon!
