End_Year_Collect  
For samples that were taken over time this gives the end year of the collecting event. The full year should be expressed (e.g. 1996 must be expressed as "1996" not "96"). Must always be a four digit integer. If specimen was collected in a single calendar year then enter the same value in this field as in Start_Year_Collect.   dateTime
