How can I know the "Created" and "CreatedBy" fields of a SharePoint library? I am using SharePoint 2010 Enterprise
- Open the library in browser
- Activate the ribbon and choose "Open in Explorer"
- Go one level up
- Right Click the Library and Select Properties
- Created Date will be displayed in the property window
the below script will give you the Created date of List/library.
$web = Get-SPWeb “http://yourweburl”
$list = $web.lists[“Your List Name”]
$listCreatedDateTime = $list.Created
$web.Dispose()
$web = $null
Write-Host $listCreatedDateTime

Also check this MSDN for more properties n Method.
The Created date and Created By (Internal name Author
) can be checked one of the tools like SPManager. However, if a code solution like PS is needed then the script by @Waqas can be used with one addition $list.Author
to get created by information.
