To complement the Flickr Commons interactive timeline and world map tools I’ve also developed this simple gallery that allows you to view images from certain dates, and not just from specific dates but also things like ‘on this day’ which displays images from this day in any year. You can also look for things like ‘all images taken in January 1896’ or even just all 1896 images, or all January images. So go ahead, check your birthday, you know you want to!

Your browser must support iframes to see the interactive map here, so try to view the timeline full-screen.
