HOW TO CITE MATERIALS

The following models show the Manuscripts Department's preferred method of citation for materials in the Southern Historical Collection, the Southern Folklife Collection, University Archives, and General Manuscripts. While publishers may require different forms of citation, it should be possible, regardless of the final format, to include at least the collection name and a reference to Wilson Library.
