TimeandDate.com ![](NEW.gif) |
A very helpful website if you are trying to determine the year that a document or publication or even photo was created and you only have a reference of the day and month (MMDD or DDMM) and the "day of the week" (Monday or Tuesday etc.) .... Example: I have used this to determine the year that a particular edition of "The Week in Munich" OMGB publications was issued. This publication - for some reason - lists all kinds of events in the Munich area with a day and month and the day of the week. But not a single mention of the year. |
