Notes:
1. The dating of the novelette "Mother Earth" is approximate, and is calculated backwards from the dating of the novel The Caves of Steel (4721 AD), which takes place around one thousand years after the rebellion of the Outer Worlds against Earth (roughly around 3720 AD).
2. The date of the Sarton murder-case is calculated as follows: Baley states that the city of New York had been around for at least 3,000 years. As New York was renamed from "New Amsterdam" by the British in 1664 AD, this puts the Sarton murder-case at or after 4664 AD. Baley had met his future wife nineteen years earlier in "’02"...therefore, if that was 4702 AD, the Sarton murder-case takes place in 4721 AD.
3. Foundation's Edge takes place about 22,000 years after interstellar travel begins; i.e., AD 24,000. This is 12,566 years after the founding of the Galactic Empire, which sets the Empire's foundation around the year AD 11,584, which translates into the year 1 GE.
