19282016

19282016, often written as 1928–2016, is a notation used to denote an inclusive time span from the year 1928 to the year 2016 in historical records, databases, and archival contexts. As a chronological bracket, it can indicate either the lifespan of an individual born in 1928 who died in 2016, or the period during which an organization, project, or phenomenon was active.

In biographical use, the convention 1928–2016 communicates a life span without listing dates elsewhere in a narrative. In historical writing, the range signals the first and last year of relevance for a topic, allowing researchers to frame events and sources within a defined window.

The span covers a broad portion of modern history, reflecting events and developments that began in the late 1920s and continued into the 21st century. It is not intended to imply uniform experiences across regions or groups; experiences during those years varied widely.

In digital and cataloging contexts, the concatenated form 19282016 may appear in file names, identifiers, or data fields where punctuation is avoided or disallowed. It is generally interpreted as a year range rather than a numeric code with intrinsic meaning.
