Now available--the first revised edition of QuickSheet: Citing Online Historical Sources by prominent genealogist Elizabeth Mills. Using updated sample citations and style changes, her publication answers the frequently asked question: "How do I accurately document information found on the internet?"
Published in the form of a laminated folder, Mills's QuickSheet provides a series of representative citations which show the proper way to document common online sources such as digital books and articles, images of censuses, and databases. Based on the premise that online sources are publications sharing the same characteristics as printed works, the template furnishes rules and examples for resources like vital records, newspapers, and passenger lists. Because a website is the online equivalent of a book, the reference sheet demonstrates how to specify the author/creator/owner of a website, title of the website, URL address, date the information was posted, and other aspects of citation.
Useful to all genealogists, amateur and experienced
alike, Mills's QuickSheet supplies data about documentation not found in
standard citation guides. The arrangement of examples makes finding them easy.
With the material in folder form, the template can be stood up or lain down,
making it convenient for immediate reference at home or at the library. Its
lamination prevents it from tearing and keeps it clean and readable. Mills's
QuickSheet: Citing Online Historical Sources is a handy tool that can be
easily transported to any research site.
