3. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

1. Can you print the Timeline?

The TimelineJS software (from Northwestern University Knight Lab) does not include specific features that allow users to print the timeline chart directly. Your best option is to take a screenshot of each slide as you create or view them, and then print the captured images.

2. May I share this page link and/or the ManyRoads 400+ Years of Mennonite-Anabaptist European Emigration Timeline?

Yes, you may share the page link and/or the Timeline link. The only request is notification of the sharing. Please contact the compiler before asking/telling, as they simply wish to know who is using the materials.

3. May I have access to the ManyRoads European & North American Timeline dataset?

Yes, simply ask the compiler via their contact page, and they will send the data to you. The data is provided in a spreadsheet format.
