18681934

18681934 is a compact notation commonly used to indicate a person’s lifespan, with birth in 1868 and death in 1934. In biographies, genealogies, and archival records, such year pairs are often presented as 1868–1934 or 1868 to 1934, providing a quick sense of the time period in which the individual lived. When written without separators, 18681934 is still understood in context as a date range rather than a single year or a numerical code.

The approximate age at death for someone with these years would be about 66, though the exact age depends on the specific birth and death dates. The span covers much of the late 19th century and the early 20th century, a period marked by rapid industrialization, modernization, and shifting political landscapes. It encompasses events such as the latter part of the 19th century’s social changes, World War I, and the beginnings of the interwar era, including the lead-up to the Great Depression.

Because many individuals share the same birth and death years, the notation alone can be ambiguous. In bibliographies, databases, and catalogs, 1868–1934 is usually accompanied by additional identifiers such as a full name, middle initials, nationality, occupation, or a reference to notable works, to distinguish among people with the same lifespan.

Outside biographical use, the string 18681934 may appear as a file name, catalog code, or identifier in datasets where year ranges are relevant. Overall, it is primarily a shorthand for a life span, bridging historical dating practices with modern cataloging standards.
