Quantum Mechanics Chronologies

• Quantum Theory Timeline  //  Particle Adventure  About 50 entries, no bibliographic data ; simple introductory timeline.  http://www.particleadventure.org/other/history/quantumt.html  .

• Timeline of Quantum Mechanics  Probably 150 entries and 77 bibliographic notes including links to the original articles.  Pretty nice.  The "History of QM" wiki entry is fairly basic. (Wiki) http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_quantum_mechanics

• Good introductory timeline from Northwestern U along with annotation (1814-1927) http://faculty.wcas.northwestern.edu/~infocom/Ideas/quantum_timeline.html

• AlphaCenturi Quantum Timeline  Short timeline but picks up James Franck in 1914.  http://www.alpcentauri.info/quantum_mechanics_timeline.html

• TimeRime. Kind of a short, splashy presentation with only a dozen dates or so. http://timerime.com/en/timeline/138786/Quantum+Theory/

• Chronology of Quantum Mechanics, Molecular, Atomic, Nuclear, and Particle Physics http://www.3rd1000.com/chronology/chrono3.htm

And this, a chronology of general physics, with a good selection in QM: 

• Big but incomplete, which means you'll have to get the book itself:  Chronology of Science by Lisa Rezende.  Google book, here.
