Date

Dates

Date: searchable = yes, hidden = yes; required field

If the date in the Date field is a “circa” date (e.g., ca. 1895) or a date range (e.g., 1908-1945), the Dates field contains an expanded version listing each year so that searching will find dates covered by the date range. Five years on either side is the preferred form for circa dates.

Examples
Date: ca. 1910
Dates: 1905, 1906, 1907, 1908, 1909, 1910, 1911, 1912, 1913, 1914, 1915
