Walt, have you read the discussion that took place on this list a few months ago? https://listserver.lib.byu.edu/pipermail/dcrm-l/2015-July/thread.html#4226<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__listserver.lib.byu.edu_pipermail_dcrm-2Dl_2015-2DJuly_thread.html-234226&d=CwMFAg&c=kbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU&r=xz2noldVAzT6TAk5mwYTwEhDaMv16-ItQe8WS9qbcAQ&m=NCMZWERbJ7K84UrRcYSMf3CQkmdyKc27_VDMJJqO7n0&s=6QTGlvI1mclTDWRIixEuu6jjgb3JKJsXBfKiumjzd1g&e=>

As a result of this discussion, I started the practice of giving of supplying the previous year as the date of publication, whether the almanac had something that looked like a publication date or not. Our policy can be found here: http://folgerpedia.folger.edu/Almanacs#Date_of_publication<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__folgerpedia.folger.edu_Almanacs-23Date-5Fof-5Fpublication&d=CwMFAg&c=kbmfwr1Yojg42sGEpaQh5ofMHBeTl9EI2eaqQZhHbOU&r=xz2noldVAzT6TAk5mwYTwEhDaMv16-ItQe8WS9qbcAQ&m=NCMZWERbJ7K84UrRcYSMf3CQkmdyKc27_VDMJJqO7n0&s=9yB7VBbeqzp8F7o5Xyw1dswtPARoeb_jG6_h9Lb_-6M&e=>

We're starting to catalog a collection of 19th- and 20th century American almanacs and I'd like to have a policy in place, whether for monographs or serials, for the many titles which lack a publication date. There's a sentiment here that supplying a date different from that of coverage is too confusing.

What's the almanac?

When cataloging an almanac that contains no publication or printing date, do you supply for date (in 260/264 and 008) the year of coverage, or the year prior to that?
