Lynne Olver (1958–2015) was a food historian, and sole author of the Food Timeline website,[2] which may disappear as early as 2022 if nothing is done to save it. Lynne graduated from the University of Albany and worked at the Morris County Library in New Jersey, and was later appointed as director of the library in 2009.[1]
The Food Timeline
In 1999, Lynne created The Food Timeline, a culinary history website that she maintained, which held information on foods introduced, alongside recipes on how to make them.[3][4] The website has since become a large information point for culinary history. Almost all of the website's information was from Lynne's personal library of over 2,000 books.[5] Unlike many other food related websites, Olver gave citations to almost every statement written on her website so that all of any reader can verify her claims and her research is so thorough that scholarly papers that are published academic peer-reviewed journal can use her website as an academic citation.[6][7][8]
Following the death of Lynne Olver, The Food Timeline website was given to Olver's family, who chose to remove social media accounts associated with the Food Timeline, but kept the website running in a state of dormancy. As such, the website is no longer maintained. The site's domain is set to expire in 2025.[5] However, a July 2020 domain name search performed with the WHOIS database web interface that is maintained by the Public Interest Registry, revealed that the current registration will lapse on April 4, 2022, if the registration is not renewed or transferred prior to this date, so The Food Timeline supporters might have much less time than they think to save this web service.[9]
The Olver family would like to find someone willing to continue Olver's work in maintaining and possible grow the Food Timeline website as an ad free culinary history resource and the family (and other persons in the food history field) would hate to see this website just disappear.[10][11][12][13][14]
Various publications and websites such as Atlas Obscura,[12] Eater,[10] Mental Floss,[14] Reddit,[15] Smithsonian Magazine,[13] and The Takeout[11] are also trying to spread the word about the search for a new custodian for The Food Timeline.
