I'm preparing to launch WikiProject:Linking to Books in the BYU Family History Archives but I don't know which format to use for the book references. APA? MLA? Chicago? Shown Mills? Turabian? Any ideas? It would be nice to come to a consensus before adding these 1300 references so the community won't have to come back and change their citation format later.

We may need to cite sources differently depending on whether we're mentioning a great record source within the body of an article or creating a footnote.
 
To see how Wikipedia handles this, see [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Citing_sources Wikipedia:Citing sources].
