To facilitate international contribution and use of authority records, when recording dates, generally use the spelled out or [https://www.noslangues-ourlanguages.gc.ca/fr/cles-de-la-redaction/mois#2 abbreviated] forms for months. (For dates recorded using automated authority generation programs, see the Format of 670 fields section of this document.) Do not change the style of dates in existing records. As a best practice, if a date is not included in subfield $d of the 100 field, consider adding a 046 field if dates are available.
