When it debuted in 2011, Culturomics 2.0 profoundly reshaped how we think of conflict analysis and forecasting, garnering international fame, appearances in the presses of more than 100 nations and selection by The Economist as one of the top five science stories of 2011.

At the time, the journal it was published in did not support the filesizes of its (what were then) very large and high resolution figures, so they were hosted on external websites that have since faded away. Given the number of republication requests we get for these figures, we've provided a download mirror of the original high resolution images below to make it easier. Feel free to republish any of these images with credit to "Kalev Leetaru" and a link if possible back to the Culturomics 2.0 article they come from.
