Bit hard with ranges for start/end year though, to be sure.

Also a bit hard with the volume of data: each page would have to return an aggregation of (number of things per year) in order to generate a sparkline. Which, for this database, is a really, really big query and a lot of overhead. It could be precalculated, or restricted to a small period of time... but as it stands, it's going to be challenging to do and remain remotely performant.

Good. Decision made (to table the idea).
