The events in the timeline are categorised according to the year and decade in which they took place. You can view the events for a whole decade by selecting one of the decade buttons along the top of the screen. This displays all the events for each year within the selected decade. You can view details of individual events by selecting a year and then the text or thumbnail for each event. In cases where there is more than one event listed for a particular year, the timeline will loop through the events in the decade view. For each event there may be pictures, video and audio.
When viewing the details of an individual event you can select other events that took place in the same year from the right-hand column.
Please note: to view the interactive features and multimedia content in the timeline you will need the latest version of Flash Player. An html version of the timeline is available. If you have any problems viewing the content of the timeline, please contact web-editor@bristol.ac.uk.
