The NPR SIMILE Timeline

Introduction

The NPR SIMILE Timeline (Beta) allows you to display a listing of NPR stories on a timeline. This timeline, made entirely of open source technologies, connects the NPR API to MIT's Simile Timeline javascript application. In addition to using this to display a timeline in your blog, to link to a timeline, or to send a timeline in email, you are welcome to become involved by suggesting enhancements to this application or to repurpose the code entirely in your own applications.

This script owes an incredible amount to the NPR Digital Media team. You can find out more about the NPR API here. You can also read about what they're up to on their blog Inside NPR.

This project equally owes a great amount to the Simile Timeline project. You can read the documentation here, or ask a question about the timeline widget here.
