The 19th-Century Caribbean Cholera TimeMap utilizes a map of the Caribbean and an interactive timeline to show the various Cholera outbreaks in the area in the 1800s. Along representing outbreaks, the TimeMap also shows hurricanes, tropical storms and news articles that were present at the time. The map was created in the 2011 Haiti lab at the John Hope Franklin Humanities Institute at Duke University. This map seems to be created through the perspective that the only relevant information is the “where” and “when” of the outbreaks. On the timeline, they broke the information down by year and decade, allowing viewers to analyze the information closely while also being able to see longer patterns over time, which subjectively, is very important. However, the creators left out any information on the people who were affected by these outbreaks, and information on how drastic the effects were to the economy at the time. To me, this dehumanized the information being presented and took away from how seriously this took a toll on people at the time. The researchers may have assumed that anyone looking at this project would already have enough knowledge about the situation to know its effects, but giving these detail would have brought the information to life in a way dates and locations cannot. In an alternate map, any hyperlink connecting you to information about an outbreak (the red pins on the map), would not just say that there was an outbreak in that area, but also give names of those affected, information on how that area’s communities changed, and maybe even the spiritual practices associated with ridding of the disease in different areas around the Caribbean.
