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.
