We have developed a timeline for our media briefs (though it desperately needs to be updated). I could also imagine us developing a PECE essay for the project overall, which would include administrative documents and collections.
A timeline of Austin’s energy infrastructure, resource planning updates, and official climate protection policy would be useful.
Currenlty, there are timelines focused on legal cases, activists campaigns, and news reporting. These timelines are largely used to condense and make accessible larger amounts of data.
However, we have also begun working on more thematic timelines (to document remediation or environmental impact over time, for example) and to make arguments about the role of diverging perspectives. See for example of this timeline of reports about the 2016 marine disaster in Vietnam that uses additional commentary to help distinguish between narratives advanced by activists versus the Vietnamese government.
A timeline of infrastructure projects in Urequio could be really interesting to develop. I have some of this information already through interviews, but for many keystone events I only have approximate dates or a year range. Additionally, I am still missing images and videos to encapsulate those events.
