Evidence Explained: Citing History Sources from Artifacts to Cyberspace by: Elizabeth Shown Mills Table of Contents NAMED "BEST REFERENCE 2007" BY LIBRARY JOURNAL and WINNER OF THE NATIONAL GENEALOGICAL SOCIETY'S 2008 AWARD OF EXCELLENCE! Evidence Explained is the definitive guide to the citation and analysis of historical sources. According to the author, there are no historical resources we can trust at face value. Records simply offer evidence, and their assertions may or may not be true. To decide what actually happened, we must understand those records. To analyze that evidence and judge what to believe, we also need particular facts about those records. Thus, Evidence Explained has two principal uses: it provides citation models for most historical sourcesespecially original materials not covered by classic citation guides such as The Chicago Manual of Style. Beyond that it can help us understand each type of record and identify each in such detail that we and our readers will know not only where to go to find our source, but, equally important, the nature of that source so that the evidence can be better interpreted and the accuracy of our conclusions properly appraised. Highlights Covers all contemporary and electronic sources not discussed in traditional style manuals, including digital, audio, and video sourcesExplains citation principals and includes more than 1,000 citation models for virtually every source typeShows readers where to go to find their sources and how to describe them and evaluate themTeaches readers to separate facts from assertions and theory from proof in the evaluation of evidence Most Importantly Evidence Explained discusses source citations for every known class of records, including microfilm and microfiche, and records created by the new digital media: WebsitesDigital books and journalsDVDsCDsAudio filesPodcastsE-zines Everyone Needs This Book Carry it around and consult it for the correct citation of any source you come acrossKeep it constantly at your side to help you identify sourcesUse it to evaluate digital and Internet sourcesMake it your standard for citing sources and evaluating evidence in your day-to-day research QuickSheet Citing Online Historical Resources by: Elizabeth Shown Mills Elizabeth Mills's 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 QuickSheet 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. Convenient for desktop use at home or in the library, the QuickSheet answers all those niggling questions left unanswered by the standard citation guides.
