toychest [licensed for non-commercial use only] / FrontPage
"Toy Chest" collects online or downloadable software tools and thinking toys that humanities students and others without programming skills (but with basic computer and Internet literacy) can use to create interesting projects. Most of the tools gathered here are free or relatively inexpensive (exceptions: items that are expensive but can be used on a free trial basis). Also on this site are "paradigms"--books, essays, digital projects, etc.--that illustrate the kinds of humanities projects that these thinking tools/toys might help create. A star indicates tools that combine power (advanced, multiple, or flexible features) with ease of use. This site is kept by Alan Liu for his "Literature+" digital humanities courses (recent examples of course: undergraduate | graduate).

Historical geographic information system
A historical geographic information system (also written as historical GIS or HGIS) is a geographic information system that may display, store and analyze data of past geographies and track changes in time. It can be regarded as a subfield of historical geography and geographic information science. GIS was originally developed for use in environmental sciences, military and for computer assisted cartography. Techniques used in HGIS[edit] Digitization and georeferencing of historical maps. Notable Historical GIS projects[edit] HistoricalGIS.com, Longitudinal Urban Historical GIS Projects in the Canadian Cities of London, Victoria, Montreal, and Windsor. Software or web services developed for Historical GIS[edit] TimeMap — A Java open-source applet (or program) for browsing spatial-temporal data and ECAI data sets[4] Developed by the department of archaeology University of Sydney.Version 4+ of Google Earth added a time line feature that enables simple temporal browsing of spatial data[5]
TimeMapper
Can I make a timemap anonymously? Yes! You do not need an account to create a timemap - they can be created anonymously and will have all the same features and shareability of normal timemaps. However, there are some benefits of creating an account and creating your timemap whilst logged in: You'll get a nice URL for your timemap at /your-username/a-name-you-choose-for-your-timemap All of your timemaps will be nicely listed at /your-username As you'll be identified as the owner you'll be able to re-configure (or delete) your timemap later If you do want an account, signup is very easy – it takes just 15 seconds, is very secure, and uses your Twitter account (no need to think up a new username and password!). "Publish" 1. Go to File Menu in your spreadsheet, then 'Publish to the Web', then click 'Start Publishing'. What URL do I use to connect my spreadsheet? Use the URL you get by clicking your spreadsheet's Share button and copying the Link to share box. Not all fields are required.

TimeMap
TimeMap TMJava is an Open Source web mapping application, which was one of the first such applications to introduce generic time filtering and map animation on the web. TMJava is a comprehensive Java mapping applet which can run as a standalone application with local data, on a web site or as a two tier application with a backend server and independent metadata clearinghouse, supporting distributed data sources. TimeMap developed out of work on mapping historical and archaeological data, starting with animated maps in 1995, a Windows mapping tool in 1997, and TMJava from 2001. Funding came from numerous sources but in particular from the Australian Research Council (Sydney TimeMap project, 2000–2002) and from the Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative (1998–2005). TimeMap is available as Open Source on SourceForge.[1] Capabilities[edit] Applications[edit] TimeMap's is used as the core technology to number of applications, including: Electronic Cultural Atlas Initiative Clearinghouse Search
