Chicago Style Reference Guide
Kate L. Turabian’s Manual for Writers of Research Papers, Theses, and Dissertations presents two basic documentation systems,
notes-bibliography (or simply bibliography style) and parenthetical citations–reference list style (or reference list style). These
styles are essentially the same as those presented in The Chicago Manual of Style, 15th edition, with slight modifications for the
needs of student writers.
Bibliography style is used widely in literature, history, and the arts. This style presents bibliographic information in footnotes or
endnotes and, usually, a bibliography. Considering the analytical essay assigned is for a history survey-level course, students are
required to use only the bibliography style which includes footnote(s) for individual citations and a comprehensive bibliography
of all sources used to construct the paper.
Below are some common examples of materials cited in both styles. Each is given first in bibliography style (a note [N],
followed by a bibliographic entry [B]). For a more detailed description of the styles and numerous specific examples, see
chapters 16 and 17 of Turabian’s Manual for Writers for bibliography style. Note: Use the following shortcut(s) for inserting
footnotes in Microsoft Word. For Mac, press ALT+⌘ +F. For PC, select ALT+CTRL+F.
