Chicago Style

The Chicago Manual of Style offers two styles of documentation: the notes-bibliography (humanities) style and the author-date style. The notes-bibliography style (shown below) uses notes for citations and includes a bibliography.

Basic bibliography entry format:

Phillips, Charles. “A DAY TO REMEMBER April 22, 1889.” American History 39 no.18 (2004): 16-18, http://search.epnet.com/direct.asp?an=12233190&db=aph (accessed May 24, 2004).

Basic footnote format:

1. Charles Phillips, “A DAY TO REMEMBER April 22, 1889,” American History, 39. no. 18 (2004), 16-18, http://search.epnet.com.
