1000 Years of European Border Changes - Automated Map #general
Eden Joachim <esjoachim@...>
An audio-video map showing 1000 years of European Border Changes can be seen
here: http://loiter.co/v/watch-as-1000years-of-european-boarders-change/. It's interesting and may help one understand the same place being in numerous "countries" over a span of years. Eden Joachim

The original source for the maps shown in the various time-lapse videos
that circulate online every now and then is the Centennia Historical Atlas, which you can find here: http://www.clockwk.com/ Roxanne Richardson

I would find this video infinitely more useful if there were any way
that I could see to correlate any given map with a time-frame. Does this exist, and I'm just missing it? WIthout that, it's an interesting exercise and amusing - but that's about it.

If you click to let the video fill the screen you'll see the dates just
above the map at the left. They are hard to read, as are the captions at the lower left that describe the major events taking place. An earlier version had larger dates at the center on the bottom, along with an (annoying) sound track.

The time lapse map is >from Centennia Historical Atlas software.
http://www.clockwk.com/ There are ways to look at particular regions over time rather than a huge overview of all of Europe. I bought this software a few years ago when I first started doing genealogy, because I knew nothing about European history and didn't know, for example, what the Holy Roman Empire was, when it operated, how it changed, and when it dissolved. There is a feature of the software that tells you what historical events were occurring at a each point in time as the borders changed. You can manually step through the border changes, as well. If I'm remembering it correctly, you can take snapshots of maps and save them, which can be nice if you want to include them in your family history documents. I don't have any connection to the company, other than as a customer. Roxanne Richardson Minneapolis, Minnesota

The video you are discussing has been taken (probably illegally)
from the Centennia Historical Atlas:http://www.clockwk.com/ The original is far superior as you can go at any speed you wish, it can be enlarged to show smaller areas, it is better coordinated with the actual years, each time period comes with explanatory text, etc. Here is a sample: http://www.clockwk.com/centenniavid.htm However, you will have to pay $59 for it. (I have no connection with this company.)
