Solr field date_t
Explanation When was the original resource created? Some resources are quite clear, such as a dated letter or a photo with the date stamped on it. (Exact dates take a prescribed format: yyyy-mm-dd.) Others resources require us to make an educated guess, and we enter a range of years to cover the likely time period during which it was created. For circa dates, we use a 5 year range.
Examples (When exact date is given e.g., January 31, 1975) 1975-01-31
(When an estimated range of years is given e.g., 1960s or 1970s) 1960; 1961; 1962; 1963; 1964; 1965; 1966; 1967; 1968; 1969; 1970; 1971; 1972; 1973; 1974; 1975; 1976; 1977; 1978; 1979
(When a single estimated year is given, e.g., circa 1960) Enter a range of dates on either side of that date. For example: 1957; 1958; 1959; 1960; 1961; 1962; 1963
(A range of months) 1940-02; 1940-03; 1940-04
