What this does and does not establish

Office of the Historian register, pinned edition 31c4d09c4a89, trip 2666. Table row 2 agrees with the XML. The July 8 return to the United States does not extend the France visit; the preceding Belgium entry is separate.

Kind of record
Placed in a year. A source places this in one year. It is listed under that year; no day precision is invented.

How it is dated

Date reference
1919-06-20 through 1919-06-28
How we use it
Year-level placement is limited to the dated source entry.

The date reference is this project’s reading of the source’s date. It may give an era name, a reign or a calendar in a normalised form rather than in the source’s own words; the dating notes say what the source prints.

Dating notes from the research record

tripvisits01.txt row 2 and travel-wilson-woodrow.xml lines 130–142 specify 1919-06-20 through 1919-06-28, both within civil AD 1919. Neighboring lines 116–129 identify the preceding Belgium visit. The 2010 timestamps are metadata. Original quotation begins at line 2, character 216.

File names and line numbers in these notes, and in the limits above, refer to the project’s retained copies of the cited sources. Names such as calendar_headers are the project’s calendar look-ups, and “the investigator” is the research step that prepared the record.

Sources and quoted text

Line and character numbers under “Location” refer to the project’s retained copy of the source. For database rows, “Edition” names the batch of rows that was fetched together.
