Visualizing Analysis in U.S. History

Can complex patterns and trends in history be depicted visually?  One interesting attempt to do so are Timeplots.  Here is how the Timeplots web site describes their initiative:

Timeplots tells complex stories in visual form. Our first completed public project is a three-part series of large-scale prints visualizing U.S. political institutions: Visual Histories of the American Presidency, the Supreme Court of the United States, and the U.S. Senate.

The Library has acquired copies of these posters.  They are listed in the catalog and are temporarily mounted on the walls in Uris Library in the Austen Room (the group study space that leads to the Cocktail Lounge).
