A Note on Timeline Sources

Standing on the shoulders of giants.

(January 7, 2016).

As of 2022 our Timeline database contains over 5,600 entries. That didn't just happen. It started with the hard work of many people who came before us, of whom this page is an acknowledgement. The following sources were invaluable in getting us started:

We combined the data from these sources, edited, revised, and checked for accuracy (an ongoing process), and added more historical events from hundreds of other sources to create a comprehensive Timeline of important (and not-so-important) events in Rhode History, from the first (alleged) visit by Norsemen to Narragansett Bay in the year 1000 to the present day.

As always, we welcome additions or corrections. Email stuffie@quahog.org to let us know what we left out or got wrong.
