Citations are very important in scholarly work. Historians and archivists
use Chicago Style for citations, references, and bibliographic data. When
in doubt, refer to the Chicago Manual of Style. This webpage is not
intended to be a comprehensive guide to citations but addresses common
materials found in the archives. The following is courtesy of The
Chicago Manual of Style, 15th Edition and are solely examples of
Bibliographic entries. If you wish to cite properly in footnote/endnote
format or in a reference list, we refer you to The Chicago Manual of
Style or a Writer's Reference of your choice.
