Citing Primary Sources

These resources created by the Missouri State Archives help students determine whether or not their source is a primary or secondary source and provide guidance on how to cite a primary source (i.e. photograph) found within a secondary source (i.e. website).

Is My Source Primary or Secondary? Flowchart

 

Citation Station 

These flowcharts are for common websites where students find photographs for National History Day or other research projects.  They help students identify the information needed to make proper citations for the photographs, instead of only citing the website.
