 == Citing this Collection ==
-Citing your sources makes it easy for others to find and evaluate the records you used. When you copy information from a record, list where you found that information. Here you can find citations already created for the entire collection and for each individual record or image.
+Citing sources correctly makes it easier to refer back to information that has already been discovered; proper citations are therefore indispensable to keeping track of genealogical research. Following established formulae in formatting citations also allows others to verify completed research by helping them find and examine records for themselves.
+To be of use, citations must include information such as the author, custodian, publisher, and archive for the original records, if available. The following examples demonstrate how to present this information for both this particular collection as well as individual records and images within the collection:
 '''Collection Citation''':<br> {{Collection citation | text= "'New Zealand, Archives New Zealand, Probate Records, 1843-1998." Database with Images. <i>FamilySearch</i>. https://familysearch.org: accessed 2016. Citing Archives New Zealand, Auckland Regional Office.}}
