Chicago Style Guide for Citing Sources
How to cite scholarly sources (books, articles, etc.)
A great resource for most frequently used citations (eg. Book with one author, Article in an online journal).
How to cite images/ photographs:
Images must be cited with creator, title, and date as available, but the nature of these sources requires that you also provide medium, dimensions, physical location, and where the image was accessed (book/ website):
Footnote/ endnote: 3. Firstname Lastname, Title, date, medium, height × width × depth (unit conversion), physical location, accessed from book/ website (date accessed, if website).
Bibliography/ references: Lastname, Firstname. Title. Date. Medium, height × width × depth (unit conversion). Physical location. Accessed from book/ website (date accessed, if website).
