Visiting Hours is set during the "current day" block of stories, I think.
The Dollhouse is set in 1970s Los Angeles.
Corpse Day is sometime between A Day in the Death and Exit Wounds. I'd say closer to the latter, as Owen seems used to it now, and Jack finds it hilarious to send him out on a Corpse Day run.
Cascade is set... hmm. The events seem to be set earlier than the recording. The messages at the end would suggest that this is post Series 2 "framing sequence", since he's calling to ask if Tosh is okay in light of the explosions and stuff he's seen on the news (the S2 finale, presumably). The events depicted within the recording though... hmm. I'd say before Owen's death, as Tosh says things haven't worked out with Owen, and they get close(r) after he comes back. There may be some more context clues in there somewhere, not sure.
The Office of Never Was... hmm. Ianto knows who The Committee are, and seems more "oh great, these chucklef#cks again" rather than shock and awe, so I'd say we're well beyond Fall To Earth and the early days of the team's familiarity with them. But at the same time, he's still on the dead girlfriend thing, so...
And the upcoming The Dying Room is set in the 1940s, in Paris.

I can't believe I missed this somehow, but when going back through and cataloging the Torchwood references in Doctor Who Series 2, I was completely surprised to learn that the expidition in The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit, is on the behalf of the Torchwood Archive, with second-in-command Zachary Cross Flane acting as Torchwood's representative on the crew. The Torchwood Archive anniversary release clarifies the dating system used in the episodes, allowing us to place the events of the two-parter in the year 4221.
When Jeremiah Bash Henderson arrives at The Archive in The Torchwood Archive, he states that "no one has been here for centuries", which would presumably place it at least a couple hundred years after the events of The Impossible Planet / The Satan Pit, rather than between Made You Look and Visiting Hours.

The events of the IDW Doctor Who one-shot story The Time Machine, featuring The 10th Doctor and H.G.Wells (in a follow-up to the events of Time Lash (and a sequel/lead-in to The Talons fo Weng-Chiang (timey-wimey))), occur in 1889, with them encountering Queen Victoria and Torchwood as The Institute tries to catch up with The Doctor after missing him in Krakatoa (as seen in photograph in Rose) and Perivale (the events of Ghost Light).
In 1906, the events of the four issue IDW Doctor Who comic book storyline Final Sacrifice occur, in which two Torchwood agents are sent to Oxford to see new time travel experiments using cannibalized alien technology. They are accidentally transported to the far future and once again meet with The Tenth Doctor. Neither of them return.
Sorry, doing a bit of Torchwood marathoning while I wait for Aliens Among Us next month. It was also mentioned in an interview that Visiting Hours might take place in the middle of the first Aliens Among Us set, but we'll need to wait for confirmation on that I guess.

Long Time Dead takes place in October 2009, one month after the destruction of the Hub in CoE. First Born takes place in the winter of 2010/2011, several months after the coda of CoE. The Men Who Sold the World takes place in 2011, prior to the events of Miracle Day.
side note: Long Time Dead opens and closes with the S1-3 Torchwood theme. First Born open with the S1-3 theme, and closes with the Miracle Day arrangement. Men Who Sold the World opens and closes with the Miracle Day theme. Nice little transitory thing done there.
Final Note (for now): World Without End and Station Zero, the Titan Comics stories, seem to take place in 2012, after the events of Exodus Code, unless there's something explicitly placing them in the midst of the post-2015 Big Finish stories that I just haven't come across yet.

I would place The Death of Captain Jack sometime between Jack joining Torchwood and "The Victorian Age". The Queen recognizes him and has "met him once or twice" but doesn't seem overly familiar as she does in the post-TVA segments of The Torchwood Archive. And the vast majority of the play takes place in a bubble reality and hasn't actually happened, or something. It's timey wimey

For that reason (and that Miracle Day is mentioned), I think I'll slot it in just before Aliens Among Us.

"Jack" though says that everything will snap back to how it should have been. And the story as told has to happen for John prior to him showing up in Kiss, Kiss, Bang, Bang. I still think it works better, from Torchwood's point of view, to set this between Jack joining and The Victorian Age, as it's a branch off from somewhere in that time period.
From a narrative standpoint as well, it works as a fucked up sort of teaser for the entire premise of Torchwood.
And finally this also works from a narrative standpoint for Jack, as it "begins" after he's left the agency post Month 25, and picks up for him post-The Year After I Died because he already can't die but hasn't joined Torchwood yet.

Those are points to chew on...

In the absence of any other defining time-period points, I'd place "Deadbeat Escape" in the contemporary pre-Aliens Among Us section after Goodbye Piccadilly.
And curiously I have no notes as to when Instant Karma takes place, so I'll have to get back to you on that one.
And I still think The Death of Captain Jack should be moved to after Tooth & Claw but before The Victorian Age.

Tim, or anyone for that matter, I see that the main framing story for the torchwood archive has been narrowed down to a particular century?
How did you come about that? i'd love to see the info so I can put it in my timeline.

Hope that helps clear that up

Goodbye Piccadilly takes place in the 1950s, even though Andy has been displaced from present day, so should also be there in the timeline, in addition to being with the present day stuff.
The events of Torchwood One: Machines come before the events of Torchwood One: Before the Fall, and One Rule, as the set depicts Ianto's first day at Torchwood One, among other things. So it should be Machines > One Rule > Before the Fall.
The second set of God Among Us is out.
I think that's all for now.

Don't quote me on this, but I think I remember someone in Machines saying that the year is 2006. In either the first or the last story, obviously.

I think I saw someone say that it was mentioned to be set in 2006 in the behind the scenes interviews, although that may well have been you on Gallifrey Base, I can’t remember. Also I think the first Volume is actually referenced in one of the stories.
