Art History Research Guide: Citing Sources

Here are some helpful websites that can generate citations for you or demonstrate the proper citation/footnote for an item.

For assistance with Noodletools you can see any librarian.

Images must be cited like all other resources. If you use an image you did not create, you must provide a citation. Images should be cited in all cases, even if the image is very small, or in the public domain. The citation should be accessible in the context of the image's use (within a Powerpoint presentation, on a web page, in a paper, etc.).

Image citations should include the following information at a minimum:

• Title
• Creator name
• Repository information (museum, library, or other owning institution)
• Image source (database, website, book, postcard, vendor, etc.)
• Date accessed

It is also useful to include date, culture, and rights information, if known.

Citations can be formatted according to the citation style you are using.
