One notable exception might be for a US census event. While it would be correct to use the actual date of the census enumeration, one must be careful about the timeliness of any information derived from within that event. For example, while the data may have been given on October 15th, it was co

If you want to cite all 24 of the page numbers and don't want 24 citations, then you could always fudge it a little. In the Volume field, type "1901-1924". In the page number field, type something like "pp. 36, 45, 23, 90, ...". The reader should get the idea that the 24 page numbers are in year se
