History Department Guidelines

The History Department at WMU requires the use of the Chicago Manual of Style when citing your sources.  However, sometimes it permits students to use Kate Turabian's A Manual for Writers of Research  Papers, Theses and Dissertations, which is a simplified version of the Chicago Manual.  If in doubt--ask your instructor!
