19081912

19081912 is a numeric date representation used to denote August 19, 1912 in the day-month-year (DDMMYYYY) format. It is commonly used in archival systems, digitized newspapers, genealogical records, and cataloging practices where dates are encoded without separators. The same date in ISO 8601 notation is 1912-08-19.

The use of continuous-digit dates can avoid localization issues in file names and database keys, but may also create ambiguity when mixed with other formats. Standards and conventions vary by institution; some systems store separate day, month, and year fields instead of a single string.

Historical context: The date lies in the early 1910s, a decade marked by rapid modernization and political change worldwide. The label itself does not specify a single event; rather, it marks a point on a timeline that could correspond to multiple regional occurrences across politics, culture, and science.

In practice: When encountered in archival metadata, 19081912 typically points to materials created, published, or dated on August 19, 1912. Researchers should verify with contextual records to identify the specific event or document.
