Citing in Chicago/Turabian Style

History courses at Lawrenceville require students to use Chicago/Turabian Citation Style.

In Chicago/Turabian Style, you will need to create two citations for each source:

A full bibliographic citation (goes at the end of your paper on the Bibliography page; your sources should be listed in alphabetical order by author)
A footnote (added at the end of the page where the source is referenced)

Only cite the information that is available to you. If you cannot identify a piece of the template [e.g. an author or date], leave it out rather than making it up.
