Different Star Trek Timelines
This site does present the result of the investigations of the History as told in the Star Trek Series. There were—as many do not know—several attempts to give a realistic summary of all events throughout the time.
Star Trek Time Lineby Chuck Graham (1975)This Timeline is nothing more than a rough draft of Star Trek Events. The obvious error is the late invention of the Warp drive, but it does settle Captain Kirk's famous five years in the 2260s, more...
A History of the Federationby Geoffrey Mandel (1977)Published in a Star Trek Poster Book this timeline presents an overview of important events including the Kzinti Wars. The assumption of the late first contact dates—dates are given from 2090 to 2100—of the later Federation allies seem to be a bit out of range, as the same source states that Earth vessels have already travelled to the next galaxy arm, but have not visited the 10-16 light-year distant home stars. Yet again the five year mission is in the 2260s, more... To read the "Article about the Federation", go here.
Star Trek Spaceflight Chronologyby Stan & Fred Goldstein (1980)This chronology was published as a single sold book and does contain information—from 1980-2188—neither established on screen nor in the dropped lines of the stories.

But despite this major error the book presents dozends of new ships that were only briefly referred to, more...
Chronology of unknown originThis chronology was presented to be the Spaceflight Chronology, supposely because of the location of Kirk's five year mission, more...
FASA ChronologyFor "Star Trek: The Role Playing Game" by FASA that was very popular in the 1980s most rule books did came with a chronological overview. These dates were based on the Spaceflight Chronology dating scheme. In addition the dates were given in stardate scheme C/YYMM.DD. Recently I got a copy of the original printed file. If I find the time, you will be able to read this one too...
Keyevents of Explorationstartrek.com (2001-2005)The recent attempt to give the audience of the new series—Enterprise—an overview of the History until the launch date of Enterprise (our universe and the fictional one), due to the character of Star Trek's internet page some content of this page is regarded as canon, even though it does not reflect the on-screen evidences.

Federation Spaceflight ChronologyIn 2007 Richard E. Mandel compiled a set of pdf documents which depict Federation history in detail. Originally released as BitTorrents these are available at K7, more...
