Research in Archives (Thunder Bay, Canada, and Around the World)

It is important to cite archival records in a way that they can be found again by other researchers, particularly as they are usually unique items that cannot be found elsewhere. 

Citations of archival records should include:

• Author or creator's name
• Title or description of item
• Date of the document's creation
• Collection name
• Box number and file number
• Repository name (all uses of archival records should credit Lakehead University Archives)

The following websites contain detailed information on citing archival materials:

Published books in Lakehead University Library's Special Collections (Rare, RAM, Finnish, & Seaway) can be cited as you would other published materials.

Please refer to the appropriate citation guide for your discipline (eg. APA, Chicago, MLA).
