What would be the best way to limit a summary buffer to articles
(or emails) that are dated in say, 1997?

Not sure this is the best way. But it is one way.
In summary buffer press `&' at the prompt pick `body'
1) At the regexp promp insert ^Date: 1997 (or however your dating is
setup.
2) When prompted for `Command?' press `#'. Gnus will attach the
process mark to anything with a date that includes `1997'.
3) Press `/ n' to limit the view to all process marked articles.

^^^^^^^^^^^
Wouldn't the '1997' have to come immediately after the Date:
header in order for a sucessful match? Suppose the date field
goes something like, "25 Feb, 1997", or you going to get a match
from the above regexp?

OOPs should be ^Date:.*1997
