Record from Mexico has no dates for several records over 3 images. Do I index if no dates appear?

    Okay. Generally, you index a record even if doesn't have dates. Check the field helps to make sure. They are accessed by clicking on the purple question mark that appears when you click on the fields. Sometimes the project instructions will tell you that you can look at reference images to find dates. Sometimes they will also tell you not to index an image if it only has names and page numbers. That is why the answer is impossible without reading the instructions and field helps. Share one next time, if you get more!

    Please share the batch code to get an accurate answer to your question. The batch code is the series of letters and numbers in brackets after the project title. This way, we can see the 3 images too!

    Here is an example; Antigua and Barbuda—Slave Returns, 1742–1863[M3V5-LML]

    M3V5-LML is the batch code!

    You can type the code in as a comment or edit your original post. Either way works.
