====Listing Databases on Wiki Page==== | |||
*When possible, list databases in chronological order. | |||
*When listing databases that do not have a beginning or ending date, you can use "Pre" and "Post" to help identify the dates the database may cover. | |||
*Do not use circa or ca. to identify about dates. The dates we list at the beginning of the database link are suggestions to what the database may cover and are not verified for accuracy on their websites. Thus, all database links are "about" dates and do not need to be marked as "about", "circa", or "ca.". | |||
