Default IW: looking for more

I'm putting to together a Infinite Worlds game, and I'm looking for more timelines. I already have Britannica-6 from W23. So any links or even your own ideas would be most welcomed.

The plan for game is that the PCs will be working for a Museum on Prime, that sends out teams to recover artifacts from dead worlds, at least to start with. At some point after a few sessions the players will end up smuggling from worlds that have a population.

Potentially useful list of published timelines.

thanks, those will all work great for starting points as far as worlds go. As for stuff to bring back to Prime,I'm thinking of copies of different versions of key documents ( US constitution etc), art work and things like that.

You should try to get a copy of The Whenabouts of Burr by Michael Kurland.
