WORLDWIDE DATES AND
TIME
Today, I offer a resource for adding authenticity to fiction:
Time and Date.com
My favorite feature is the calendar function. This function
allows you to pull up past, present, and future calendars by year/ month,
country, and lists the holiday schedule for each country. Although, the first
United States colony was founded in 1607, the calendar lets you pull up earlier
years—for England.
In 1752, England and the United States changed from the
Julian calendar to the Gregorian. The site also contains background information
about Julian, Roman, Chinese, and Mayan calendars:

What else does this site contain that steals your writing
time, by tempting you with research features you didn’t know you needed?
- Time zone maps by city in the United States and by major
cities in foreign countries.
- Worldwide weather readings—current and for the past week—and
fifteen-day forecasts, by city.
- Sun and moon calculators, moon phases, and eclipse
calendars.
- Date-to-date calculators, distance and travel time
calculators.
- Assorted trivia.
Great advice and pointers. Thanks for sharing.
