Propose a Local Time Machine Project : Time Machine Europe

Time Machine will only be capable to invigorate European history with the Big Data of the Past when filled with life. Breathing life into Time Machine is a joint effort. Local Time Machine Projects are a way for partners to directly contribute content created in the context of their individual local projects and thus co-design and inspirit Time Machine.

If you are currently conducting or have already completed a project aimed at mining and visualising data about the past of a specific city or place, be warmly invited to use the form below to register your project as a Local Time Machine Project and help us create the Big Data of the Past.
