Citations & References

Citations on this site are intended to support transparency and verification rather than formal academic compliance. Sources are credited so readers can understand where information comes from, how claims are supported, and where to explore further.

When possible, citations include direct links to original materials such as archival records, public documents, scholarly publications, or reputable reporting. In cases where materials are not publicly accessible, citations provide enough information to identify the source and its context.

Citation formats may vary depending on the type of source and how it is presented. Long-form articles may include inline references, linked sources, or end-of-page notes. Visual materials are credited within captions or accompanying text. Public-domain materials are noted as such, along with the institution or collection from which they originate.

This project prioritizes clarity over exhaustive formatting. Rather than applying a single rigid citation style, references are adapted to best support readability while maintaining accuracy and attribution. Where interpretation or synthesis is involved, citations are used to indicate the underlying sources that informed the analysis.

If a source is corrected, updated, or clarified, references may be revised accordingly. Citation practices here are part of an ongoing commitment to accuracy, openness, and respect for the work of those who preserve and study the historical record.
