I am missing the original post, but not only do we have the (very  
1961) timeline, but we have created an interactive update for it  
(continuing beyond 1961 to the present), consisting of a kiosk with an  
interactive high definition screen and a magnifier you can reposition  
to read about a particular mathematician. The original is not actually  
a poster, but a large collage of images and text. It is not only very  
1961, but also very unwieldy. There are also important mathematicians  
missing and it is not very multicultural or gender/race balanced. You  
would be best to redo it from scratch. Please come by and see it any  
time your want and we can go through the history of it with you and  
what we think needs improving. Best of luck!
