Article description: (description)
This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | One citation style used by genealogical and historical researchers is Evidence Style, developed by Elizabeth Shown Mills.[1] It is an extension of the notes/bibliography system from The Chicago Manual of Style.[2] The Chicago Manual of Style gives many examples of citations for different published sources. It provides little guidance for the many different types of manuscript sources used by genealogists and the many different ways archives organize those sources. It provides almost no information regarding derivative sources.[3] Evidence Style follows Chicago's general framework but adapts and extends it, with many examples of various manuscript sources, archival arrangements, and derivatives. Evidence Style helps genealogists capture all the information that is necessary to relocate a source, evaluate its quality, and, optimally, find the original from which it was derived. |
