Workshop - January 25 - Cite Your Sources

This week it was time for our (5-year) reminder to always "Cite Your Sources." Dick reviewed the common types of sources including birth, marriage and death records, and he explained the differences between primary and secondary sources. He also shared a website that is set up to build your source for you. Visit www.Cite-Builder.com to learn more.




Citations should include:

WHO created the information?

WHAT is the title of the source?

WHEN was the record created or published?

WHERE IN refers to the place in the source.

WHERE IS means the physical location of the source.



Now if we can just remember to cite our sources each time we find new information!
