The people, texts, and events briefly described in the
MendelWeb Timeline,
and the links to
sources of information that elaborate and explain them, are not
meant to be exhaustive in any
sense. The timeline is merely designed to
reflect, and motivate studies of, some of the things that were
happening while
Mendel was alive. If you find errors, or siginificant omissions,
please let me know. Similarly, if
you know of pages that would be useful and informative
annotations or elaborations as links from any of the events
mentioned in the Timeline, please send their urls. Thanks.

As you can see, the MendelWeb Timeline is still being constructed.
During Mendel's Lifetime: A MendelWeb Timeline
Most of the links in the MendelWeb timeline will take you away from
MendelWeb, to a variety of sites around the world. You may want to
save this page or the MendelWeb homepage
as a bookmark, so that if you
keep making connections (or are just interested in surfing a while),
you will be able to easily find your way back. A selection of
sites to which the Timeline is linked is
available.
Finally, I used a great number of print and electronic resources to
compile (and check) the Timeline, but the books by Trager, Wetterau,
Grun, and
Hellemans & Bunch were
particularly helpful (and fun). The biographical information about
Mendel comes primarily from Iltis
[1966], Orel [1984], and
Olby [1985].
MendelWeb was conceived and constructed by Roger B. Blumberg
