QuickSheet—Citing Online Historical Resources
Elizabeth Shown Mills’ QuickSheet provides a template for citing historical sources on the Internet. It also lays down rules to help you judge the reliability of these sources. Published in the form of a laminated folder, the Quick-Sheet contains a series of sample citations showing the correct way to identify online sources such as databases, census images, and digital books and articles.Based on the premise that online sources are publications that have the same characteristics as printed publications,it provides rules and models for common record types such as passenger lists, vital records, and newspapers. Since a website is the online equivalent of a book, the QuickSheet shows you how to cite author/creator/owner of a website, title of the website, place (URL), date posted, and so forth.
