Short introduction

We are going to explore here a potentially very important tool for historians, data visualization (DV). In DV, statistics/data are displayed in a visual format that allows for easier recognition and interpretation of historical patterns. There are some digital tools available on the web that allow DV, but in many cases you still have to know some coding to make a web-based DV.
