19871119

19871119 is a numeric date written in the year-month-day format. It represents November 19, 1987. In data processing and archival practices, this and similar strings (YYYYMMDD) are used for unambiguous dating and convenient chronological sorting. The format is widely used in computer systems, library catalogs, and institutional records where lexicographic order aligns with chronological order.

Because 1987 was not a leap year, November has 30 days, with the date 19871119 occurring near the end of that month. Without additional context, the date itself does not denote a specific event universally recognized in historical references; events tied to this date vary by region and subject matter.

In practice, 19871119 can appear as part of file names, timestamps, or identifiers in databases and archives that store records by date. The same approach, using the YYYYMMDD pattern, is used in many cultures and organizations, including in international standards for date representation and in archival practices that require straightforward, sortable identifiers.
