HIST 2110 : American History Since 1877
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!
