Cite Sources Properly

The 17th edition of The Chicago Manual of Style is the preferred style guide for  student papers in History at Knox (notes-bibliography format for references). This style manual also has a wealth of information about preparing a paper or manuscript.

The Chicago Manual of Style Online is the full text available online of the printed book; the Citation Quick Guide to citation is also very useful as a starting point.

The 17th edition of the book is also available in Seymour Library, call number: Reference Z253 U69 2017.

The "Turabian" style guide is based upon The Chicago Manual of Style, and is often easier to use than the Chicago style manual.
