The aim of Deed Mapper is to provide a relationship map between the parties of legal documents, the properties they relate to and the families that owned them over time. Deeds are often an overlooked resource by family historians. Written in what might seem impenetrable legal language to the researcher and using terms that are unfamiliar in modern usage. This is a mistake as they often provide the framework for putting together family, social and business relationships. They link property to people through business transactions. This “Deed Map” application is built using an Open Source tool TiddlyWiki and a key component TiddlyMap which provides a graphical representation of the relationships.

HistoryCal is a practical calculator designed to work with historical dates and calendars. The calculator will allow you to work with many different world calendar schemes and calculate ranges and ages based on these calendars. The calculator also has a script language that allows you to create variations of the built-in calendars: calendars that shift the new year to a different day; hybrid calendars that switch between schemes; local observational calendars that depend on a particular location; year counts that change for specific eras (regnal calendars) and calendars that require adjustment due to subtle differences in calculation.

Hirtius is a web-based historical research assistant created by Les Ateliers du Héron. Its goal is to replace the historian's notebook and box of cards, while providing a collaborative work environment for a whole team of researchers, that can be thought of as a purpose-built CMS cross-bred with a digital pictures management system, a genealogy application and a Wiki. Eventually, based on the information you stored in the application, and the links you created between the various data elements, Hirtius will also help you prepare the draft version of your scholarly papers.

I strongly recommend that, instead of creating a new project along these lines, that people check out gnuology. I would much rather see efforts go into building up one great project than split between many (for now, anyway :) ).

This calculator will allow you to convert between many different world calendar schemes and calculate ranges and ages based on these calendars. The calculator also has a script language that allows you to create variations of the built-in calendars: calendars that shift the new year to a different day, hybrid calendars that switch between schemes, local observational calendars that depend on a particular location, year counts that change for specific eras (regnal calendars) and calendars that require adjustment due to subtle differences in calculation.

Running Reality no longer uses SourceForge. Visit us at our homepage! We at Running Reality believe that we can use the power of today's computers and mobile devices to bring history to life in an accessible, immersive, and engaging way for K-12 students, history enthusiasts, and visitors to historical sites. Running Reality gives you a map that lets you go any place on any date from 3000BC to today and explore down to the street-level of history. This model has nations and cities but also ships, armies, buildings, and people. Towns grow, buildings are constructed, ships explore new seas, and armies battle. Harbors silt in, rivers change course, and cities are sacked and burned. When you are standing at a historical site and using your mobile phone, you can see all the events that happened around you at that exact spot then zoom out to see the context of what was happening more globally.
