Creating Timelines in Location Profiles

Document the significance of places across time

Learn how to bring places to life in your archive. In this 30-minute session, we’ll show you how to use Archoral’s location timeline tools to document ownership changes, historical events, and personal ties to physical spaces. See how homes, workplaces, and landmarks become hubs that connect people, stories, and time.

🛠️ What You’ll Learn:

✅ Add events to a location’s timeline to show significance over time

✅ Link places to people, profiles, and media

✅ Track address and ownership changes

✅ Record structural modifications

✅ Categorize each location by type (residence, landmark, etc.)

💡 Why It Matters: Places are more than points on a map—they hold memories, migrations, and milestones. A single location spans multiple lives and generations. Timeline entries help surface those connections.

🧩 Real-World Example: You create a timeline for your family’s hometown, showing when different relatives arrived or left. Over time, the town’s profile becomes a hub connecting multiple people and events that shaped your family and the community's history.
