![]() The form that your citation takes is determined both by where it appears in your paper and by the citation format required by your professor or research discipline. As a footnote or endnote use this format (this example is for correspondence). For a citation we start with the most specific information and move to the most general. In cases such as these, we must describe the document well enough for someone else to find it again. With archival collections, this is difficult because there are often no page numbers. The idea of a citation, of course, is to bring a future scholar (or your instructor) back to the same page of a document in which you have cited an idea, some data or a passage. Due to their nature, it can be often difficult to go back later to find again a document in order to cite documents. ![]() Remember to always keep in mind citation while researching primary sources.
