Historical Archive: Strict Chronology This index is by chronology only, regardless of historical culture or medium. It does not include works classified only by culture, and omits most objects dated to a time span of more than 500 years. Objects datable only by century are at the beginning of each division, followed by those with more precise dates. To make each page complete in itself, objects whose dates span page divisions may be listed on more than one page.
