Papers written for History courses at the University of Puget Sound should follow the notes and bibliography system (humanities style) as
indicated in the 16th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. You have a choice of using footnotes or endnotes, but it is always a good idea to check first
with your professors to see if they have a preference. Some professors also may wish you to separate primary sources from secondary sources in your
bibliography.
This supplement to the basic guide to the notes and bibliography system provides examples for many types and formats of primary sources
that you may work with in your research. For each example below, the section number to the relevant passage(s) in the 16th edition of the Chicago
Manual of Style is provided. Members of the University of Puget Sound community have online access to the entire contents of the 16 th edition; simply
click on “Citation Tools” on the library homepage to find the link.
Note the difference in indentation between the footnotes/endnotes and the bibliography entries.

Excerpt from a Work by One Author found in a Collection of Primary Sources by Multiple Authors (sections
14.112 and 14.119)
Edited collections of excerpts from primary sources by multiple authors are a valuable resource for identifying relevant
primary source materials. Whenever possible, it is good practice to use the citations provided for each excerpt to identify
and then locate the full source from which the excerpts were derived, and to use that publication instead when writing your
paper. In some cases, however, that may not be possible, so you should follow the guidelines for reprint editions and for
chapters within a book.
