All collections must include a date, which should be entered as a date range in the _expression_ field. In addition to _inclusive dates_ [[DACS 2.4.7 - 2.4.9](https://saa-ts-dacs.github.io/dacs/06_part_I/03_chapter_02/04_date.html#inclusive-dates)], which includes the date coverage for the entire collection, you may also choose to include _bulk dates_ [[DACS 2.4.10 and DACS 2.4.11](https://saa-ts-dacs.github.io/dacs/06_part_I/03_chapter_02/04_date.html#predominant-or-bulk-dates)], which should be added if most of materials in the collection fall within a date range that varies significantly from the inclusive dates. You must always include _inclusive dates_ if you use _bulk_ _dates_.
