Core Element

[MARC authority 046]

This element is used to record a significant date associated with the history of the family. The same guidelines apply here as with the date associated with the person (RDA 9.3); therefore, we see dates for when the family was active, starting and/or ending dates for the family, etc. Due to the vague instructions regarding “significant” date associated with the history of the family, it may be difficult to determine what dates to record in this element. For example, how does one determine the start date for a family, that is, does a family start at the time of marriage of a couple? Does it start when the first child of a couple is born? For historical families, such as royal families or dynasties, it may be easier to determine the dates associated with them. Often, dates associated with the family are based on resources associated with the family.

A date associated with the family is recorded in a separate element, and can also be recorded as part of the authorized access point for the family. As a core element, dates are recorded if available and are also part of the authorized access point for the family.

Examples:

Date associated with family:

active 15th century-17th century
