Referencing

−

Students in History use Chicago 17th edition referencing which is supported by your academic department, not the library. Once you are familiar with the standard conventions of Chicago 17th, you may wish to use reference generators as outlined below to speed up the process but make sure you choose Chicago 17th (Notes & Bibliography) rather than (Author-Date).
