Art History and Theory - Citation style guides

This citation style guide is provided for students of Art History and Theory.

The Chicago footnoting style is often used for longer written works such as theses or books. This style prescribes a citation format for footnotes, numbered endnotes, and/or a bibliography or reference list at the end of the document.

Check with your supervisor as to which referencing style you are required to use. Chicago may not be the best style for your assignment, and there are many other styles used in academic writing. For further information, see: Citation Style Guides.
