Hi Alan,
I would probably put the approximate date first, i.e. NOT an org date,
but simply a _sorteable_ 2001 or 2002-03 and then use C-c ^ to establish
the timeline. (I do not check how well this bodes with the syntax I
suggest! You need to find a sort-syntax combo that works.)
Later you can refile them to headings like 1990s and retain internal
orderability.
HTH,
Simon

One would rather would like to use a the date entry (calendar display)
interface; however, in many cases, I can, at least immediately, only
remember the year, or month and year. Suggestions would be appreciated,
how to organize such a project. And, how to integrate a date with only
a year into a timeline, as well as month and year, and specific dates.
The answer is not obvious to me.
