Quicksheet Citing Online Historical Resources

The Quicksheet Citing Online Historical Resources was designed by Elizabeth Shown Mill, an author of various books on Genealogy and a university lecturer on this subject. Quicksheet is a necessary resource tool for everybody using the internet for Genealogy. It offers important sample citations showing the correct way to identify online resources, from census images, historical records, land-entry records, social security death index, vital records, newspaper & newspaper items to passenger lists and more.

The Quicksheet provides you with three different entry types, the source list entry, short reference note and full reference note. You learn how to cite sources property, such as author, creator or owner of a website; title of the website, place (URL) and date posted. Sources found today can be gone tomorrow and it is essential to record found sources appropriately.

This handy information sheet is four pages long and comes in form of a laminated folder. Keep it next to your computer t for easy access.
