Many writers in history, art history, and other disciplines rely on The Chicago Manual of Style, 14th ed. (1993) or the student reference adapted from it, A Manual for Writers of Term Papers, Theses, and Dissertations, 6th ed. (1996). The University of Chicago Press does not provide documentation examples on the Web, but it does provide a searchable list of FAQs at http://www.press.uchicago.edu/Misc/Chicago/cmosfaq/cmosfaq.html. This area of the Web site provides samples of Chicago-style footnotes, endnotes, and bibliography, and a sample student paper documented in Chicago style. Chicago notes and list of works cited Chicago notes and list of works citedIn the Chicago note style, a raised numeral in the text refers the reader to source information in endnotes or footnotes. In these notes, the first citation of each source contains all the information readers need to find the source. Thus, a list of works cited may be considered optional because it provides much of the same information as the notes. Ask your instructor whether you should use footnotes or endnotes and whether you should include a list of works cited. Whether providing footnotes or endnotes, use single spacing for each note and double spacing between notes, as shown in the samples below. Separate footnotes from the text with a short line. Place endnotes on a page by themselves at the end of the paper. For a list of sources at the end of the paper, use the format shown below. Arrange the sources alphabetically by the author’s last names. The samples included in this section of the Web site show notes followed by works-cited entries. Be sure to use the numbered note form for notes and the unnumbered works-cited form for works-cited entries.
