A col­lec­tion of graphs, charts, and other visu­al­iza­tions of ideas and rela­tion­ships, in draft and pub­lished form. Some impres­sive exam­ples, which impress in many cases not just because of face value, but back story and impli­ca­tion as well:

All 1,943 Cor­nell Fac­ulty were asked to respond to the fol­low­ing question:

Of the many charts (graph, map, dia­gram, table and “other”) you have seen in your life, which has been the most impor­tant, remark­able, mean­ing­ful or valu­able?

On the archival paper pro­vided, they were asked to cre­ate a copy of the chart and in the remain­ing space anno­tate notable attribute of the data and the image, describe what they remem­bered about first see­ing this image and com­ment on why they chose this image.
