I really enjoyed playing around with the visualisation on the Republic of Letters website. It provided multiple chart types that showed information in a clear manner with titles or tags that assisted in making sense of the information presented. I particularly liked the Top Cities and Corresponders part as it is a quick and easy way of showing the main cities in that time period and the major historical figures.
Alternatively, I struggled with making sense of what I was looking at on the Kindred Britain website. I understood what they were aiming for though the dropdown box describing the site, unfortunately how the information was presented did not reflect the outlined intention.
Looking at the differences between how I interacted with these two sites, to me shows how important using the correct visualisation is, as well as using clear titles and tags to allow viewers to fully engage with the information provided.
