Graphs of the Week, Month or Century
This collection of pages is a occasional feature of the Data Visualization Gallery.
It began as a bulletin board outside my office door, where I posted a variety of
graphs I found interesting for various reasons. The idea is to showcase graphical
displays, some historical, some modern which were remarkable in some way, together
with a brief description of why they deserve notice or further study.
The online collection is currently curated by Justeena Zaki-Azat.
