You could try xMind. It’s free and allows you to create quazi spreadsheets as part of the mind map. Check it out here:

Are you working on a Mac or PC?

On the Mac there are several dedicated timeline applications that could probably do what you want, of which the best may be BeeDocs: http://www.beedocs.com/index.php

If it wasn’t a one-off, it would be worth looking at Flying Logic Pro (on the Mac or PC). It’s not a timeline application: it’s designed to create visualisations of logic relationships, but I and others have found it useful for expressing complicated timelines, especially where cause-and-effect play a role, as in fictional plots: http://flyinglogic.com/index.html

Dr Andrus,

I’m very interested in the solution you come up with. When you’ve got it worked out, will you share it with us, with perhaps a screen shot or two? Thank you.

Folks:

I have used this: http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/ . It is a bit of work, but it is very tailorable and can produce some terrific results. An additional benefit is that you can publish your work on the web with links, pictures, etc.

Here is a good example: http://www.simile-widgets.org/timeline/examples/jfk/jfk.html
