19121955

19121955 is a numeric sequence that most often represents a calendar date when read in day–month–year order. In this interpretation, it corresponds to December 19, 1955. The form is common in non‑American contexts and in archival or administrative records that omit separators.

Because the digits are written without delimiters, other interpretations are possible if the same sequence is encountered without explicit locale guidance. Some systems may apply fixed-width parsing, but ambiguity remains unless separators or a known format are provided. Contemporary practice tends to convert such strings to a standardized format such as 1955-12-19 (ISO 8601) or 19 December 1955 to avoid misinterpretation.

In encyclopedic and archival work, 19121955 may appear as a date tag, a filename, or a catalog key in various databases, inventories, or digital libraries. It is not tied to a single event but can anchor entries in timelines that include that date. The use of this kind of numeric date string highlights the importance of clear formatting in historical records and data exchange.

Understanding such numeric dates depends on contextual cues such as regional formatting conventions or metadata specifying the date format. To minimize confusion, many organizations prefer explicit separators or standardized forms like 1955-12-19 or 19 December 1955. See also date formats, DDMMYYYY, MMDDYYYY, and ISO 8601.
