Note: DSpace configuration uses the qualified element date.issued to
generate the browse and search functionality and requires data to
be in the W3CDTF format which does not allow for approximate
dates or a range of date values. Given the nature of some archival
materials, actual creation dates may not be known and therefore
need to be approximated or given in range values. Therefore, we
will use the qualified element date.original to capture the date of
the original artifact in free text format
date.original
Original date of artifact. Free text field. May include textual description
