This table was begun on Sunday September 23, 2001 10:30 am Lethbridge..

It will be independent of any one source, but all sources used will be identified at the bottom of the table.

As with the Science Timeline, the basic structure is that of a Table. Each row will correspond to a year. A series of columns will identify the major themes. The first 3 columns will correspond to cultural themes, the next 5 columns will focus on geographic areas that are of personal interest. Each cell will contain a name and a link where the item is described in greater detail.
