How do I cite my resources?

Giving proper credit to the materials you use in your projects is an important part of historical research. National History Day standards require students to use either MLA or Chicago format. Whichever you choose make sure you are consistent in your Annotated Bibliography page. For more guidance on how to cite your resources try these resources:

• Annotated Bibliography, National History Day
• Library of Congress, Citing Primary Resources
• The MLA Style Center, Writing Resources from the Modern Language Association
• The Chicago Manual of Style, Resources for Students
