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).
