Resources for Citing Historical Sources

While you're writing your paper, it is important to cite the sources that you are incorporating. As history students, you will use Turabian to format your citations. 

Here are some sources that will assist you with creating your citations:

• Turabian Library Research Guide
• Turabian Citation Quick Guide
• A Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations: Chicago Style for Students and Researchers by Kate L. Turabian
  • This is the complete Turabian citation manual.
