How do I cite archival sources in my research?

Citing archival sources typically involves including the author, title, date, and location of the archive. Can you specify the citation style you're using?

I'm using APA style. Can you give me an example?

Sure! In APA style, you might cite an archival document like this: Author, A. A. (Year). Title of document. Name of Archive, Location.

What if the document doesn't have a clear author?

If there's no clear author, you can start with the title of the document followed by the date and archive information. For example: Title of document. (Year). Name of Archive, Location.

Thanks! Is there a specific format for citing letters or personal correspondence?

Yes, for letters, you would include the sender's name, the date, the title or description of the letter, and the archive details. For example: Sender, A. A. (Year, Month Day). Title or description of letter. Name of Archive, Location.
